US military blames al-Qaida-in-Iraq for bombing
The US military is blaming the al-Qaida-in-Iraq terror group for a suicide car bombing yesterday in northern Iraq.
US and Iraqi forces killed the two top al-Qaida figures in the country in a nighttime rocket attack on a safe house near Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit, a joint operation the US called a significant blow to the insurgency and a sign Iraqi security forces are strengthening.
