A wave of attacks across Iraq Sunday killed 47 people, while insurgents fired a barrage of mortars at Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, sending US embassy staff scurrying into bunkers. In Mosul a suicide bomber crashed an explosives-laden truck into an Iraqi army base, triggering a blast that killed 10 soldiers and wounded 30 other people. In a brutal attack in the south of Baghdad, armed men traveling in three cars opened fire on crowds in a local market in the mixed Zafaraniyah neighborhood, killing seven people and wounding 16. In another attack in the Iraqi capital, a Katyusha rocket struck a residential building in Al-Kamaliyah neighborhood, killing at least five people and wounding eight. A car bomb near a bus stop in Al-Shuala killed five people and wounded eight others, security officials said. A roadside bomb near Al-Tuz killed four Iraqi army personnel. The US military, meanwhile, said its troops raided a “suicide bombing network” in Diyala, killing 12 men. __
