Insurgents killed six in more attacks in Iraq as officials pressed on with efforts to form a unity government amid mounting frustration at their sluggish progress.
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani pronounced himself "optimistic" about the formation of a new government as the United States piled the pressure on Baghdad to speed up the formation of a unity coalition over three months after elections.
Four Iraqis were killed in eastern Baghdad by a roadside bomb while east of the capital, in the small town of Balad Ruz another roadside bomb killed two teenage boys selling farm produce from the back of their bicycles.
A passing car was also hit, but the three occupants were only injured.
Ten more corpses were also discovered in Baghdad, bringing the number of bodies, most showing signs of torture, discovered by police over the last week to about 75..
