Violence in Iraq

Twenty-five Iraqi soldiers have died in clashes with Shia militiamen in southern Iraq since fighting broke out on Sunday night when troops conducted raids against a splinter group of Moqtada Sadr's Mehdi Army in the city of Diwaniya.

In the capital Baghdad, at least 14 people were killed in a suicide car bombing by Iraq's interior ministry. The violence comes a day after at least 47 people were killed in a series of insurgency attacks across Iraq.

Britain's new ambassador to Baghdad said on Sunday that Iraq was not in the civil war that his predecessor warned was a strong possibility.

Uh... is there a "yet" unsaid there?
