Iraq

Al Qaeda in Iraq killed an engineer in Diyala by strapping a bomb on his body and detonating it. Security forces detained five members of a cell thought to have executed the deadly bombing in Al Kut. The Promised Day Brigade claimed it executed eight attacks against US troops in six provinces.
