BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A car bomb killed 10 people and wounded 28 others Tuesday in eastern Baghdad, Iraqi police said.

The midafternoon blast took place in Sadr City, the largely Shiite neighborhood that has seen a rise in sectarian violence in the past six weeks.

Earlier Tuesday, two children were killed and three other people wounded when a bomb exploded inside a house in the New Baghdad district.

Also in the capital, police found over a 12-hour period 16 slain bodies that had been shot in the head, an Iraqi Interior Ministry official said.

Eight of the bodies were discovered in Sadr City.

In the upscale Mansour neighborhood, two Iraqi employees of the United Arab Emirates Embassy were shot dead by gunmen, an Interior Ministry official said.

In two separate incidents, gunmen in Baghdad also killed a judge assigned to work with the Interior Ministry and an Iraqi female translator.

Body of Marine found

The body of a U.S. Marine missing after a vehicle rollover accident was found Tuesday, the U.S. military said, bringing the number of troops killed in that mishap to six.

The seven-ton military truck in a logistics convoy rolled over Sunday in a flash flood.

One Marine and a sailor remain missing, the military said. Another Marine was injured.

Since the Iraq war began in March 2003, 2,343 U.S. service members have died.
