Two suicide bombers have killed 10 civilians, including four US nationals in
one of the bloodiest attacks inside Baghdad's fortified Green Zone, an
attack claimed by America's top enemy in Iraq.
The blasts at a souvenir bazaar and a cafe frequented by US troops and
civilians were the first suicide bombings inside what is supposed to be the
safest place in Iraq. The country's interim Government immediately vowed to
strike back.

One US soldier was shot dead and another killed by a roadside bomb in
separate attacks in Baghdad, bringing the US combat toll to 831 since last
year's invasion. Seven US soldiers have been killed by roadside blasts and a
suicide bombing in Iraq since Tuesday evening.
West of Baghdad, US warplanes struck at targets in the rebel-held city of
Fallujah, killing five people, one of them a 13-year-old boy, and wounding
12, hospital doctors said.
The US military said the raid was the latest strike against sites used by
Zarqawi militants.
