A car bomb near the city of Basra in southern Iraq has killed 10 people and wounded many others, local police say.

伊拉克南部巴士拉附近发生一起骑车炸弹爆炸案，造成10人死亡、多人受伤。

Ten years after the US-led invasion, violence is once again on the rise in Iraq

The blast happened near a bus station in Garmat Ali, 18km (11 miles) north of Basra. Earlier, another bomb to the west of the city wounded two people.

Basra is Iraq's main port and has a predominantly Shia Muslim population.

The bombing come days before the 10th anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq, when Basra was occupied by UK forces.

Attacks in Basra are relatively¹ rare compared to other regions of Iraq.

Violence in central and western Iraq has increased in recent weeks amid continuing protests by members of the Sunni minority against the Shia-led government.

Sunni militants² - some with links to Al Qaeda - often target government officials and buildings, as well as members of the Shia majority.

On Thursday more than 20 people were killed in a series of bomb and gun attacks in the capital Baghdad.
