BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Gunmen killed nine members of two Shi'ite families in a mostly Sunni neighbourhood of Baghdad on Sunday and police found the bodies of 60 more apparent victims of sectarian killings gripping the capital. 

A day after Shi'ite militias raided a mixed neighbourhood and forced dozens of Sunni families to flee in one of the worst incidents of sectarian cleansing in weeks, gunmen stormed a home in a predominantly Sunni area in Baghdad and killed five brothers from one family after separating them from the women.
