The US troops are leaving Iraq and fresh bombings have been reported from Baghdad. Two suicide bombings in Tal Afar killed 34 people and wounded 60. In Baghdad, seven people were killed and 20 wounded by two bombs in a market in Sadr City. Later in the day, two roadside bombs targeting a police patrol near a market killed nine people and wounded 35. Doubts arise about the ability of the local police to keep the troublesome elements in control once the US troops leave. Experts feel that these attacks could be attempts by insurgents to stoke the fires and keep alive the Arab-Kurd conflicts.
