Iraqi president sets date for first parliament sitting
A suicide truck bomb ripped through a line of vehicles waiting at a checkpoint yesterday in Fallujah, killing seven civilians. Elsewhere authorities in the capital discovered the bodies of six men who were blindfolded, handcuffed and shot in the back of the head, police said.
Car bombs killed three in Samarra, including the imam at a Sunni mosque. Samarra was the scene of an attack on a Shi'ite shrine last month which ignited two weeks of violence.
