BAGHDAD, Jan 21 (Reuters) - A bomb on a small bus killed at least six people and wounded 15 on Sunday in Karrada, a central district of Baghdad, police said. It was not clear how many people were aboard the bus, which was gutted and burning fiercely after the blast which rocked the area around 8:00 a.m. (0500 GMT).

Tens of thousands of people have fled Baghdad, the epicentre of violence in Iraq. The United Nations, launching an appeal for aid for Iraqis who have fled their homes or left the country, said this month about one in eight Iraqis is now displaced. Many, including non-Kurds, have taken refuge in Kurdistan -- a largely autonomous region in the northern mountains that has been a haven from attacks plaguing other areas since the U.S. invasion of 2003.
