Iraq

A suicide bomber killed 55 Iraqis in an attack on a tribal meeting between Sunnis and Kurds at a restaurant in Kirkuk. President Talabani was to have visited Kirkuk. Coalition forces captured six al Qaeda fighters in Baghdad and Mosul, and detained a “criminal leader” in New Baghdad. Iraqi forces detained four “suspects” behind attacks in Jalawlaa.
