BAGHDAD, Iraq - A roadside bomb exploded Sunday along a highway leading to Baghdad's airport, killing two Iraqi soldiers and wounding 11 others — four critically — as Iraq (news - web sites)'s interim prime minister reorganized the country's security forces to combat terrorism.

U.S. forces clashed with insurgents north of Baghdad in a battle that killed 10 Iraqis and wounded 12 others, police and hospital officials said Sunday.

Iraqi officials said the clashes occurred Saturday in Samarra, about 60 miles north of the capital in the so-called Sunni Triangle, a hotbed of anti-coalition resistance. There was no comment from the U.S. military.
