Iraq

Five Iraqi soldiers were killed in an attack on their checkpoint near Kirkuk. One prisoner was killed and 40 more were wounded during a riot at the Abu Ghraib prison; Iraqi troops were called in to quell the unrest. Security forces detained nine terrorists in Ramadi, four insurgents in Ninewa, and three security guards involved in an IED attack in Al Kut.
