BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Gunmen dressed as Iraqi police commandos killed nine people in an attack on an electronics store in Baghdad on Wednesday, the latest in a series of raids targeting lucrative businesses in the capital.

Amid rising sectarian violence, with dozens of mutilated bodies turning up daily at the city morgue, there has also been a spate of attacks and robberies by uniformed raiders on stores, money-changers and other businesses this week.

The fate of those victims is unknown. The dead in Wednesday's attack in the affluent Mansour district of western Baghdad included three women.

Around 30-40 bodies, many shot in the head and showing signs of torture, are being found on the streets of the capital every day, morgue officials say.
