BAGHDAD - U.S.-led forces detained nine suspected insurgents in
raids aimed at al-Qaida in Iraq, the military said Friday, including
five in a region that has seen a recent rise in violence as militants
fled there to escape a crackdown in Baghdad.

The developments after a violent day in Iraq, including a suicide car
bomb attack on Iraqi forces, killed at least 72 people, including the
bullet-riddled bodies of 27 men dumped in Baghdad, apparent victims
of sectarian death squads.

But killings continued Friday in the hard-hit city, where many militants
are believed to have fled from the Baghdad area to avoid a crackdown
by U.S. and Iraqi forces that was launched in February. A roadside
bomb targeting a police patrol missed its target but killed a civilian
in Mosul, police Brig. Gen. Abdul Karim al Jubouri.
