Iraq bombings kill 8
In Mosul, three soldiers are killed by a roadside bomb; in Khalis, north of Baghdad, two die outside cafe; and in Fallouja, a female suicide bomber strikes at a hospital, killing three
Reporting from Baghdad — Bombs killed at least eight people Sunday across Iraq and wounded many others, officials said.
In the northern city of Mosul, a roadside bomb ripped through an Iraqi army patrol, killing three soldiers and wounding four others, police said.
U.S. and Iraqi troops have been fighting for months to clear Al Qaeda in Iraq and about a dozen other Sunni insurgent groups from Mosul, Iraq's third-largest city.
A bomb attached to a bike and wrapped in a trash bag exploded outside a cafe in Khalis, 50 miles north of Baghdad, killing at least two people and injuring 13, including the mayor, police said.
Khalis is a mostly Shiite Muslim town surrounded by Sunni Arab communities and was a hotbed of Sunni-Shiite fighting in 2006 and 2007.
In Anbar province, a female suicide bomber blew herself up at a hospital in a suburb of Fallouja, about 40 miles west of the capital. Talib Hassnawi, a member of the municipal council, said three people were killed and five were wounded.
