claimed at least 57 lives today across Iraq.
A suicide driver slammed his vehicle through a security
checkpoint in a hail of gunfire at an Iraqi army post in the
northern city of Mosul. Police say 13 Iraqi soldiers died, and more
than 40 people were injured.
The day also saw the most sustained assault in months against
the Green Zone in Baghdad, the nerve center of the U.S. mission.
Rockets and mortars pounded that area of the capital.
The Baghdad attacks may have stemmed from rising tensions
between rival Shiite groups.
A U.S spokeswoman says four people were wounded in the Green
Zone, which includes the U.S. and British embassies. Iraqi police
say ten civilians were killed in rocket or mortar blasts in
scattered areas of eastern Baghdad -- some of them probably due to
misfired rounds.
Also in the capital, seven people died in a suicide car bombing
in a Shiite area.
