Another Violent Day in Iraq
by TChris
Having chased the "insurgents" out of Falluja, the U.S. military dropped two 500-pound bombs on Baquba, where "insurgents attacked a police station and U.S. troops at a traffic circle." Violence has spread to other cities, as well.
Earlier in the day, gunmen stormed the police station in the nearby town of Buhriz using machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, police said. A gunbattle ensued and four police cars were burned, police said.
Explosions and sporadic gunfire rang out across Mosul on Monday, a day after Iraqi and U.S. troops battled to retake a police station overrun by insurgents. Violence has also spiked in Samarra and Baiji, both Sunni cities north of the capital.
