Two bombs exploded minutes apart Saturday in a market northeast of Baghdad, wounding eight people, police said. U.S. reinforcements sent to bolster security in the capital were seen taking up positions in a contested neighborhood. Also Saturday, the Defense Ministry and police said 55 suspected insurgents were captured in northern Iraq following a flare-up of violence there. Another 22 were arrested in Ramadi and two more in Baghdad, the ministry said. The bombings occurred Saturday in Baqouba, 60 kilometers (35 miles) northeast of Baghdad. The first blast destroyed a grocery store and the second went off about five minutes later as police cars arrived at the scene. Police said the eight wounded included seven civilians and one policeman.
