Iraq

Bombings in Baghdad and Mosul killed 30 Iraqis. Iraqi forces captured an Ansar al Sunnah regional leader and a Mahdi Army cell member, 23 “gunmen” in Kirkuk, eight al Qaeda fighters in northern Iraq, and five Mahdi Army fighters in Dhi Qhar province. Coalition forces captured four Hezbollah Brigades fighters and an al Qaeda car bomb specialist in Baghdad.
