Iraqi deaths rising as suicide bomber attacks report

Iraqi officials said today that May’s increase in militant attacks has resulted in more Iraqis killed than the previous month. A suicide car bombing, the most popular method of killing in that same period, wounded 15 Iraqis at the main checkpoint to Baghdad’s International Airport.

The US military announced that American soldiers had captured a former Saddam Hussein regime spy on Monday, who was among least 113 terror suspects detained during US-Iraqi raids throughout Baghdad since Sunday.
