In the northern city of Kirkuk, residents on Tuesday salvaged belongings from dozens of buildings damaged by a powerful truck bomb that killed up to 15 people and injured about 150.
A U.S. soldier died of wounds suffered in the blast, the military announced late Monday. Many of the wounded and at least one of the dead were pupils from a nearby girls primary school. At least 3,257 U.S. troops have died since the start of the war, according to icasualties.org.
Also on Monday, a Republican congressional delegation, including Arizona Sen. John McCain, visited Al Anbar province, west of Baghdad.
At least eight Iraqis were killed in scattered violence Tuesday. Several attacks occurred in the capital amid a 7-week-old campaign of heightened security by U.S. and Iraqi troops.
Also Tuesday, 10 male bodies were discovered in various sections of Baghdad. In the town of Hillah, south of Baghdad, a mortar blast killed a teenager playing soccer.
