Iraq

Insurgents killed two policemen, two soldiers, an Awakening leader, and a child in attacks in Mosul, Ninewa, and Babil. Security forces killed three al Qaeda fighters and detained three more in Baghdad and northern Iraq, and arrested 15 wanted men in Basrah and Diyala, and two weapons smugglers on the Syrian border.
