A top aide to Iraq's finance ministry has been gunned down in western Baghdad, police said.

He was one of six people killed or found dead across Iraq on Sunday.

Qutaiba Badir al-Din Mohammed, a Sunni adviser to Iraq's finance minister, died at around 11am when two carloads of gunmen showered his vehicle with bullets in the capital's al-Jamia neighbourhood, police said. His driver was also killed in the attack, they said.
