A suicide bomber blew up his car Thursday south of Kirkuk, killing two Iraqi
Army soldiers and three bystanders. And a second car bomber attacked a joint
US-Iraqi patrol in the center of Samarra, killing three people and injuring
more than a dozen.
The first explosion also injured at least 16 people, including eight soldiers.
The blast occurred near a checkpoint.
In the second, north of Baghdad, another suicide bomber rammed a car into an
American Humvee. Also in Samarra, gunmen attacked a police station with
rocket-propelled grenades and gunfire.
The attacks came as the US military command said two of its soldiers had died in
separate clashes Wednesday.
One soldier died from injuries he sustained during a clash in Mosul in Iraq's
north. He was among several injured during a clash that erupted when soldiers
tried to check a taxi.
The taxi's passengers opened fire on the soldiers, an officer said, and they
shot back, killing the occupants and causing the taxi to explode.
Another soldier was killed when his patrol came under fire in Baghdad.
