Eight civilians were killed and four wounded yesterday in a mortar or rocket attack on Baghdad's fortified Green Zone, home to the US embassy and the Iraqi government, a US army spokesman said.
"Six civilians were killed and three wounded at the Green Zone bazaar, and two civilians were killed and one wounded at the Green Zone cafe," a military spokesman told AFP.
He was referring to two locations popular with US soldiers and civilians inside the fortress-like area of central Baghdad.
There was no word on the nationalities of the casualties, in the attack that came on the eve of the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Iraq's interim prime minister has threatened to attack Falluja unless it turns in foreign militants, but a negotiator for the rebel-held city said yesterday its people were being asked to chase shadows.
Iyad Allawi told Iraq's interim assembly on Wednesday that Falluja must surrender Jordanian Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, America's top enemy in Iraq, or face military action.
"We want to know what proof there is that Zarqawi is in Falluja," Hatem Maddab, a member of a Falluja negotiating committee, told Arabic Al Jazeera television, adding that the government had now halted peace talks.
US warplanes have repeatedly struck at targets the military says are hideouts used by Zarqawi and
his followers in the Sunni Muslim city 32 miles west of Baghdad.
Earlier two Iraqi army officers, a judge and a woman journalist were gunned down in a string of attacks Thursday and four national guardsmen were wounded in a roadside bombing, police and medics said.
General Nazem Sulayif and Lieutenant Colonel Imad Awad Ahmed were shot dead by unidentified gunmen as they drove down a main road in the restive town of Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, said police Lieutenant Imad Mahmoud.
In Baghdad, Abdulamir Khadem, an investigative judge in Baghdad's Rusafa district, was gunned down as he left his home, said Raisan Ghadban, a medic at Kindi hospital.
Also in the capital, an Iraqi journalist for Al-Huria television station, Dina Mohammed Hassan, was killed Thursday outside her home in the Adhamiya district, said Colonel Adnan Abdul Rahman, spokesman for the interior ministry.
In Ramadi, fifteen Iraqi national guardsmen were killed in an overnight attack in Qaim near the Syrian border, according to a police officer in the town and a message received at provincial police headquarters yesterday.
"Armed gunmen attacked a national guard post overnight, killing 15 soldiers and stealing their weapons," read the internal message at the Ramadi headquarters for Al-Anbar province.
