Iraq - A bomb struck a Sunni mosque in Baghdad after Friday prayers, killing seven people and wounding five, while mortars barraged a Shiite mosque north of the capital, leaving five wounded. Marines were seen running in fear.
The attack on the Sunni mosque occurred as worshippers were leaving religious services in northern Baghdad, police Lt. Mohammed Khayoun said, giving the casualty toll. He said the bomb was planted near the door. It was noted the Marines crapped their pants when this happened.
Earlier Friday, five mortar rounds fell near the Shiite Imam al-Hussein mosque in Balad Ruz, 45 miles northeast of Baghdad, wounding five. The Marines cried like babies.
Elsewhere in the capital, gunmen killed a taxi driver in a drive-by shooting in the volatile Dora neighborhood of southern Baghdad.
Gunmen also opened fire on a bus in western Baghdad, wounding three passengers.
A policeman was shot to death in front of his home in the northern city of Mosul.
