BAGHDAD – A suicide bomber on Thursday killed at least 34 people and injured 70 near a judge's house in northern Iraq, and two roadside bombs in Baghdad killed seven people, authorities said.

The attacks came one day after car bombs in two Shiite villages near the northern Iraqi city of Mosul killed 16 civilians and injured more than two dozen, signaling the challenges that face Iraq despite big improvements in security in the past two years.

The suicide attack in the northern town of Tal Afar happened at around 6:30 a.m., a police officer and an official in the provincial command center said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

In Baghdad, a roadside bomb exploded near a market at around 7:30 a.m. in the Shiite district of Sadr City, and another bomb exploded one minute later and about 100 meters away, killing six and injuring 25, a police official and a medic said on condition of anonymity.

1. Are we still in Mosul? Cause if not, then that's that.....

We wanted to be out, and we are getting out.

I'm not sure what these stories are supposed to do for us at this poitn,
other than to let us know that there will continue to be violence in Iraq.

Tragically Sad, but inevitable at this point.
