BAGHDAD, Dec. 1 (AP) — Sectarian attacks continued Friday in Baghdad, with at least 12 Iraqis killed and a Sunni Arab mosque damaged.
The one-story Quds mosque, in west Baghdad, was empty when it was attacked by men armed with guns and rocket-propelled grenades. In Sadiyah, a mainly Sunni area of Baghdad, a Shiite man was killed early on Friday and six relatives were wounded in twin bombings — one that drew them out of their house and a second that exploded outside, the police said. Later, bomb attacks in three areas of the capital killed six Iraqis and wounded 39, police said.
North of Baghdad, mortar rounds killed three civilians near Muqdadiya, and a suicide bomber attacking an American convoy killed two civilians in Kirkuk, the police said.
The bullet-ridden bodies of 14 Kurdish farmers were found west of the Syrian border, a provincial official said. Military officials said Friday that an American soldier was killed in Baghdad on Thursday.
