Iraq

Insurgents killed a policeman and a woman in Mosul. Security forces detained an al Qaeda cell leader and five accomplices in Baghdad and Abu Ghraib, three Mahdi Army fighters north of Baghdad, and three wanted men near Al Kut. The Iraqi Army foiled an attempt to blow up a bridge that connects Al Kut to Baghdad.
