BAGHDAD (AP) — Attacks killed five people in Iraq’s capital on Sunday, targeting security forces and Shiite Muslims in the small but steady stream of continuing violence across the country.

The victims were top targets of Sunni insurgents who have sought to shake public trust in the Shiite-led government and rekindle widespread sectarian fighting like the kind that brought Iraq to the brink of civil war just a few years ago.
