US kills '25 militants' in Iraq ... A car bomb has exploded in a largely Shia neighbourhood of central Baghdad, killing at least 14 people, police say.
The blast came as US Defence Secretary Robert Gates was on a visit to the Iraqi capital. He was meeting Iraqi leaders in the nearby Green Zone.
Bursts of gunfire were heard after the blast and a thick plume of black smoke rose from the Karrada area.
Earlier in the day three parked car bombs exploded in other Iraqi cities, killing at least eight people.
One of the bombs killed one person in Mosul soon after Mr Gates arrived in the northern city.
Bombings killed five people in Baquba, north-east of Baghdad, and at least two in the northern city of Kirkuk.
