Suspected insurgents marked the third anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq today with roadside bombings that killed at least eight policemen, and authorities reported finding 15 more bullet-riddled bodies, one of them a 13-year-old girl, dumped in the capital and in the Tigris River south of Baghdad.

Baghdad International Airport has been closed for two days for security reasons, the Iraqi Transportation Ministry said.

Gunmen in Iraq sprayed a car with bullets, killing a bride and wounding the groom as they drove home on their first day as husband and wife.
