- BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A
suicide bomber killed himself and at least four others in Iraq Tuesday,
as foreign aid workers agonized over whether to quit the country in the
aftermath of Monday's 35-death bloodbath in Baghdad.
-
- Another American soldier was confirmed killed and six
other troops wounded in a Baghdad rocket attack as President Bush blamed
the violence in postwar Iraq on members of Saddam Hussein's ousted Baath
party and "foreign terrorists."
-
- Bush, seeking re-election next year amid criticism in
some quarters of his Iraq policies, said he expected Syria and Iran to
enforce border controls to stop infiltrators.
-
- The latest suicide bombing near a police post in
Falluja, west of Baghdad, followed Monday's carnage in the capital in
which 35 people died in near-simultaneous attacks on the Red Cross
headquarters and three stations of the U.S.-backed police.
-
- With the latest soldier's death, announced Tuesday,
the U.S. military casualty toll from hostile fire rose to 114 since Bush
declared major combat over on May 1, just one less than the total killed
in combat during six weeks of war itself.
-
- Baghdad deputy mayor Faris al-Assam was killed in a
drive-by shooting Sunday, the U.S.-led authorities said
Tuesday.

- KIRKUK (AFP) -- A
US military post in the northern city of Kirkuk was hit by five
Katyusha rockets today, Iraqi police reported, without saying if
there were any casualties.
-
- "A US position located behind the technical
college at the entrance of Kirkuk was hit by five Katyusha
rockets," said Lieutenant Ammar Hassan al-Abbadi.
-
- "The attack happened at 5am AEDT and the
rockets were fired from the road heading toward Tikrit," said
Abbadi.
-
- US helicopters were flying overhead after the
attack.
-
- A school in Kirkuk was also hit by a mortar
and a bomb exploded in front of a dry cleaners used by the US
forces, Abbadi said.
-
- Kirkuk, 225 kilometres north of Baghdad, has
become an active front in the war between the US military and
insurgents since the start of the month, where violence
previously had focused further south in the region around Saddam
Hussein's hometown of Tikrit.
