A rocket attack on the UN headquarters in Baghdad’s International Zone killed two civilians and wounded 15. Coalition forces captured a senior member of the Hezbollah Brigades in Baghdad, eight Special Groups fighters, and six “criminals” in Baghdad. Iraqi forces detained a “Mahdi Army Special Groups (JAM-SG) criminal leader” and two al Qaeda operates in northern Iraq. Four policemen were wounded in an IED attack in Diyala.
