BAGHDAD (AP) --

A roadside explosion outside the Iraqi capital on Sunday killed six
American soldiers and a journalist, the military said, among 12 U.S.
deaths reported on a day when two car bombs killed at least 44 Iraqis
at a Baghdad market and a police headquarters.

A car bomb in the capital, where U.S.-led forces are in the midst of a
crackdown on sectarian violence, killed at least 30 Iraqis.

At the police headquarters in Samarra, a volatile city in the Sunni
heartland 60 miles north of Baghdad, a car bomb and shooting attack
killed 12 police - including the police chief.

American soldiers racing to the headquarters to help also came under
attack by small arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades that left two
soldiers wounded, the military said.

Roadside bombings proved deadly for U.S. forces on Sunday.

One in Diyala province killed six Task Force Lightning soldiers and a
journalist accompanying them.

Three soldiers were killed in separate roadside bombings - two others
on Sunday and one on Friday, the military said.

Two Marines were killed Saturday in combat in Anbar province, a Sunni
insurgent stronghold west of Baghdad, the military said, and a soldier
died Sunday in a non-combat related incident.
