Iraq

Eight civilians were killed and more than 30 wounded in a car bomb attack on the commanding general in Ninewa province. Coalition forces captured two suspected criminals in the Shula neighborhood in Baghdad and a “high-ranking” Special Groups officer in Zafaraniyah. Iraqi forces captured three “armed group leaders” in Karbala. The last US “surge” brigade will leave Iraq this month.
