Car bombs target US and Iraqi forces
A series of car bombs targeted American and Iraqi troops in separate areas of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, a day after security forces captured a would-be suicide bomber near the entrance to the heavily guarded Green Zone. Scattered mortar fire shook two north Baghdad districts.
One car bomb targeted a US convoy in the Rustamiyah area of southeastern Baghdad, witnesses said. The others exploded near Iraqi forces in the north of the city and in Andalus square, police said.
