AP: Iraq War Enters 4th Year With More Deaths

The Associated Press is reporting:

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Suspected insurgents marked the third anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of
Iraq Monday with roadside bombings that killed at least seven policemen, and authorities reported finding 10 more bullet-riddled bodies dumped in the capital, one of them a 13-year-old girl.
The violence took up where it left off Sunday when at least 35 people died.

One of the roadside bombings Monday, just a few hundred yards from an Interior Ministry lockup in central Baghdad, killed at least three Iraqi police commandos and a prisoner, police Lt. Col. Falah al-Mohammedawi said. Four commandos were injured in the midday attack.

A second roadside bomb in a farming area in the so-called Triangle of Death south of Baghdad killed four policemen, police Capt. Muthana Khalid Ali reported from the area.

The 10 dumped bodies, apparently executed, were the latest gruesome discoveries tied to the underground sectarian war being conducted by Shiite and Sunni Muslims as they settle scores in the chaos that grips the capital.

As many as 700 people have been killed in sectarian violence since the Feb. 22 bombing of a Shiite shrine in Samarra and the subsequent series of car bombings and mortar attacks in the Sadr City slum on March 12.
