Roadside bombs killed five Iraqi policemen
and injured eight others north of Baghdad on Sunday, an

Three bombs that were planted along a main thoroughfare
targeted a police convoy in Jalawla, 60 miles (95

Baghdad.
The bomb exploded in the car of Fuad Ali Hussein, killing
him as well as his deputy and two bodyguards.
