16 Killed in Scattered Bombings and Mortar Blasts
Good Morning,
In continuing violence Tuesday, car bomb exploded near a restaurant on the fringe of Baghdad's Sadr City Shiite slum, killing three civilians and wounding three others.
Assailants attacked a Sunni mosque in west Baghdad with guns and grenades, killing a guard and torching two rooms. The gunmen ambushed police when they responded, wounding five officers.
In the same neighborhood, a mortar shell wounded a worshipper leaving a Shiite mosque after dawn prayers _ one of several rounds that slammed into the city.
Two bombs targeting U.S. patrols in two other neighborhoods killed at least one civilian bystander and injured five others, police said. There were no reports of American casualties.
Have a nice day.
Police said four Iraqi officers were killed in two separate attacks on police patrols in Baqouba and Beiji, north of Baghdad.
Two car bombs exploded almost simultaneously at separate sites in the mostly Shiite city of Hillah, south of Baghdad, wounding at least three people, police said.
At least three other people were reported killed in scattered shootings _ a Sunni TV station official and an airport employee in Baghdad, and a police colonel in Beiji. Police found four more bullet-ridden bodies _ two of them with their eyes gouged out.
