BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A bomb blew apart a minibus in central Baghdad on Sunday, killing nine people, the day after Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki again called on ethnically and religiously divided Iraqis to reconcile to end the bloodshed. 

The blast, which sent thick black smoke billowing into the sky, followed a car bomb attack on the offices of Iraq's best-selling newspaper, the government-owned al-Sabah, which killed two employees and damaged the building extensively.
