Twelve Iraqis killed in bomb attacks

Insurgents used bomb attacks and a
drive-by shooting to kill at least 12 Iraqis and wound 29
on Sunday, including a police officer and his four children
who died when an explosion set fire to their vehicle in
northern Iraq, officials said.
Also Sunday, the U.S. military confirmed that an angry mob
of insurgents had attacked a convoy of American contractors
last month when they got lost in a Sunni Arab town north of
Baghdad, killing four and wounding two.
The attack occurred on Sept. 20 when the convoy, which
included U.S. military guards riding in Humvees, made a
wrong turn into the town of Duluiyah and insurgents opened
fire with rifles and rocket-propelled grenades, Maj.
Richard Goldenberg, a spokesman for Task Force Liberty in
north-central Iraq, told The Associated Press.
