Suicide bomber kills 28 in Baghdad
15 mins ago
A suicide bomber wearing a vest stuffed with explosives blew himself up in a 
group of police distributing relief supplies in Baghdad on Thursday, killing 
at least 28 people and wounding 50, Iraqi police said. Skip related content
The police were helping to pass out aid to Iraqis who had been driven from 
their homes during the sectarian bloodshed and insurgency unleashed by the 
2003 U.S.-led invasion.
At least five children were among the dead, police said.
Violence across Iraq has fallen sharply over the past year but insurgents 
such as al Qaeda still carry out frequent attacks. Suicide bombings are 
often associated with al Qaeda.
A suicide bomber on Wednesday killed at least five people and wounded 15 
inside a mosque in central Iraq, and on Monday, a suicide bomber in a police 
uniform killed four policemen in northeastern Diyala province. Eight U.S. 
soldiers were wounded.
Some expect violence to increase as rival political and armed groups 
position themselves ahead of a national election due to take place at the 
end of the year.

U.S. soldier killed in Baghdad
Posted 12h 46m ago
BAGHDAD (AP) - The U.S. military says an American soldier has been killed in 
Iraq.
A statement released by the military says the Multi-National Division - 
Baghdad soldier died Wednesday from combat related injuries sustained during 
a patrol in an eastern section of the capital.
It doesn't identify the soldier or give more details but says the incident 
is under investigation.
The death raises to at least 4,275 members of the U.S. military who have 
died in the Iraq war since it began in March 2003. That's according to an 
Associated Press count.

Pentagon: Insurgent Attacks Likely to Rise in Iraq
23/04/2009
WASHINGTON, (AP) - The Pentagon's top Middle East adviser said Wednesday 
insurgent attacks in Iraq will probably increase as U.S. forces start to 
leave, but there's no plan now to delay troop departures.
Deputy Assistant Defense Secretary Colin Kahl told The Associated Press that 
the military will continue to watch whether increased violence may push back 
deadlines for U.S. troop withdrawals ordered by President Barack Obama.
"Are we likely to see the ebb and flow of violence as our posture changes, 
and as the enemy tries to probe the capabilities of the Iraqi security 
forces, or demonstrate that they're still relevant? Yes," Kahl said during a 
30-minute interview at the Pentagon. "I think we are likely to see that. But 
I don't know that we're anticipating a substantial increase."
He noted that security in Iraq has "dramatically improved" over the last two 
years and that sectarian violence that threatened a civil war earlier during 
the U.S. occupation is unlikely to re-emerge.
Earlier Wednesday, a suicide bomber killed at least five people at a Sunni 
mosque north of Baghdad. A police official said the attacker was mingling 
with worshippers when he detonated a belt packed with explosives. The blast 
also injured at least 20 people.
Kahl maintained that any decisions about delaying troop withdrawals 
ultimately will be made - and must be specifically requested - by the Iraqi 
government. A Jan. 1 security agreement requires all U.S. troops to be out 
of Iraq by the end of 2011. It also requires that combat soldiers no longer 
live in major Iraqi cities by June 30.
Additionally, Obama in February said the Pentagon will withdraw all but 
35,000 to 50,000 troops from Iraq by the end of August 2010. Those left will 
focus mainly on countering insurgents and training Iraqi military and police 
forces.
Kahl also said that the Obama administration was watching security in Iraq 
to see if any further changes in troop levels might be necessary if violence 
were to increase dramatically over the next two years.
Violence is down sharply around most of Iraq. Even the area surrounding the 
site of Wednesday's suicide bombing has been relatively calm, although it is 
a volatile patchwork of Sunni and Shiite sectors.
However, recent bombings and other attacks have prompted top U.S. commanders 
to reconsider the June 30 deadline in at least two major Iraq cities - Mosul 
and Baqouba. The Iraqi government is expected to decide soon whether to ask 
U.S. troops to remain in those cities, but Kahl did not know exactly when 
that might happen.
A group of Republican senators who recently returned from Iraq earlier this 
week said they're worried that some of the deadlines will come too soon.
"Frankly, there's some concern by both the military and the civilians in 
Iraq, about removing all combat troops by June 30 as well as trying to be 
out in August of ... next year," Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., a member of 
the Senate Armed Services Committee, told reporters at the Capitol on 
Monday.
"So there are good things that are going on there, but there is significant 
concern that remains in Iraq," Chambliss said. "But we certainly are headed 
in the right direction."
