Meanwhile in Iraq the deadly drum beat continues.

Three civilians died when a Baghdad mosque was rocketed and three US soldiers died in a road accident in central Iraq.
A suicide bomber blew up a car packed with explosives at the gates of a military barracks early today, wounding 59 American troops and six Iraqi civilians. Hours later, another suicide bomber blew himself up at a US military base near Baghdad, injuring two soldiers. The first attack occurred at 4:45 a.m. when a car drove to the gate of the base in the town of Talafar, 50 km west of Mosul. Guards at the gate and in a watchtower opened fire on the vehicle. Moments later it blew up.
Col. Michael Linnington, commander of the 3rd Brigade which controls the area west of Mosul and all the way to the Syrian border, said the attack was a suicide mission and that the attacker’s remains were “all over the compound.” In Baghdad, three people were reported killed and two injured early today when a missile exploded in the courtyard of a mosque in the capital’s western Hurriyah district.
Mr Ahmed Hussein, the mosque’s prayer leader, said the explosion occurred at 6:45 a.m. and that it damaged the building and several cars parked nearby. “Those who carried out the attack have nothing to do with any religion,” said Mr Farouk Khamis, the mosque’s imam. “They are ordinary criminals who targeted believers doing their prayers.”
Meanwhile, three US soldiers died and one was injured when an embankment collapsed beneath their armoured personnel carriers north of Baghdad but the accident was not a result of hostile action, the military said today.
