Updated: 2006-04-21 20:05 The two bullet-riddled bodies were found in Dora and in Mansour, western
Baghdad, said police 1st Lt. Thair Mahmod. He said the identities of the victims
and the motives for the killings were not immediately known.
A roadside bomb aimed at a U.S. military patrol exploded Friday morning in
Dora, missing its target but wounding two Iraqi civilians who were driving
nearby, said Abdul-Razzaq. A U.S. Army official confirmed that the attack had
missed the American soldiers.
Three Iraqi policemen also were wounded by a roadside bomb that hit their
patrol Friday in Baghdad's western neighborhood of Yarmouk, said Abdul-Razzaq.
When police and witnesses rushed to the scene, a second bomb exploded, an AP
photographer said.
Sectarian tensions have been running high in Iraq since the Feb. 22 bombing
of a Shiite shrine in Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad, and the reprisal
attacks against Sunni mosques and clerics that followed.
