A suicide car bomber on Wednesday targeted a military convoy carrying a senior Iraqi commander, killing five civilians, the Iraqi military said. In a separate attack, a bomb killed four policemen and a civilian, according to AP. The suicide attack happened in Mosul, a city in northern Iraq. Lt. Gen. Riyadh Jalal Tawfiq, chief of operations in Ninevah province, escaped unharmed. But the military said five civilians were killed and 22 people, including seven of the commander's guards, were injured.
