Attentato a Baghdad, 15 morti e 29 feriti
Un kamikaze si e' fatto esplodere in un quartiere sunnita di Baghdad 
uccidendo 15 persone e ferendone 29.
L'attentatore suicida ha colpito vicino al checkpoint che precede la moschea 
di Abu Hanifa ad Adhamiyah, sorvegliata da miliziani che si oppongono ad al 
Qaeda.
Nella strage e' rimasto ucciso uno dei capi dei miliziani, Faruq al-Obeidi. 
Testimoni hanno visto il kamikaze, che indossava vestiti femminili, che 
prima di farsi esplodere pedalava su una bicicletta.
La moschea e' nota anche perche' fu l'ultimo luogo in cui Saddam Hussein 
apparve in pubblico prima della sua deposizione messa in atto con la guerra 
scatenata dagli americani nel 2003.

Nato attack kills Afghan civilians
Nato said the incident took place in the volatile province of Helmand [AFP]
Nato-led soldiers operating in southern Afghanistan "accidentally" have 
killed four civilians and wounded three others in a rocket attack intended 
for armed groups.
Nato's International Security Assistance Force said on Sunday that the 
casualties from the incident on Saturday in the volatile province of Helmand 
included women and children.
The alliance did not give a breakdown.
"An Isaf unit on a mission to deny an insurgent safehaven has accidentally 
killed four civilians and wounded three others who were located inside a 
compound," it said.
A patrol had picked up a radio message from the compound calling for 
fighters to converge on the area to attack the patrol, it said.
"The patrol identified insurgents with weapons on the roof of the compound 
preparing to attack and in order to protect themselves launched three 
rockets, all of which hit the target.
"Unbeknown to the patrol, the civilians were inside the compound at the 
time."
Two of the wounded, both children, were in a serious condition and being 
treated at an Isaf medical facility, the statement said.
The authorities are recording a spike in unrest. Previous civilian deaths 
have angered residents and prompted Hamid Karzai, the US-backed Afghan 
president, to call on foreign forces in his country to take greater care.
Deep regret
"Isaf deeply regrets the tragedy of this incident when women and children 
were killed and injured as a result of an imminent insurgent attack from a 
position where they [militants] would have known women and children were 
present," it said.
The incident was under investigation.
Most of the Isaf soldiers in Helmand, a stronghold of the Taliban, are from 
the UK, which is in charge of Nato forces in the province.
Afghanistan is due to celebrate Independence Day on Monday, but with police 
launching a major security operation in Kabul, the capital, on Sunday, 
events are expected to remain low key.
Afghanistan will mark 89 years since gaining independence from Britian.
