BAGHDAD, Iraq - Violence around Iraq claimed at least five lives on

The car bomb attack just before 10 a.m. (0700 GMT) in the Ghadeer
neighborhood also injured 10, including four policemen, Lt. Bilal Ali Majid
said.

A second car bomb attack a half hour later on a police patrol in the
capital's eastern Mustansiriyah Square killed another two passers-by and
wounded 16, including three policemen, Majid said.

Elsewhere, gunmen shot and killed a policeman in the northern city of Kirkuk
