THE MORTAR ROUND exploded about 9 p.m.
Thursday at a market in the Sunni Muslim city of Baqouba,
about 30 miles north of Baghdad. Police Gen. Waleed
Khalid said nine civilians died and 15 were wounded. U.S.
officials put the injured figure at 18.
Khalid described the attack as a “criminal act aimed at
hurting Iraqi civilians.” However, several townspeople, who
spoke on condition they not be identified, said they believed
the target was a government building about 250 yards
away, where U.S. soldiers stay
