BAGHDAD, Iraq - Suicide attackers carried out a string of car bombings against Iraqi policemen in Baghdad and Kurdish militiamen in the north, killing 14 people and wounding at least 59 on Saturday in the latest major assaults on Iraqi security forces and U.S. allies in the country.

Two U.S. soldiers were killed by roadside bombs Saturday, and two other Americans died in a suicide car bombing of their post near the Jordanian border the day before, the U.S. military said.

The attacks came after a day of increased violence Friday, when attacks in Baghdad and the north killed 30 Iraqis -- most of them policemen -- and two more American troops.

The commander of U.S. forces in Iraq acknowledged on Saturday that U.S.-trained Iraqi security forces, though increasing in number, are not yet up to the increasingly difficult task of keeping security during vital elections set for Jan. 30.
