BAGHDAD, Iraq — Various attacks across Iraq on Thursday claimed at least 110 lives, including five U.S. soldiers who died when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb in Baghdad, as the two-day death toll from insurgent attacks climbed to 163.

Homicide bombers attacked Shiite pilgrims in the south and police recruits in central Iraq as officials tried to sort out the details in forming a coalition government.

The latest spate of violence is the deadliest since before the Dec. 15 elections, which were the subject of mass demonstrations across Iraq, with some Sunnis and Shiites claiming vote fraud.

Iraq's prime minister denounced the violence as an attempt to derail the political process at a time when progress was being made toward including the Sunnis in a new, broad-based government and thereby weakening the Sunni-led insurgency. Thursday's death toll — the largest single-day total since Sept. 14, when 112 died, and one of the bloodiest days in the three-year insurgency — included the death of five American soldiers killed by a roadside bomb while patrolling the Baghdad area, the U.S. military said.
