In Iraq a prominent Shiite leader said that setting up federal regions in Iraq would solve the country's problems, adding that Shiites are being subjected to mass killings but they should not retaliate by using violence. Bombings and mortar attacks targeting Shiites killed at least 15 people. A parked car bomb struck a bus carrying Shiites to a holy shrine in northern Baghdad, killing at least four people. Mortar rounds rained down on a Shiite neighborhood in the Sunni-dominated town of Jurf al-Sakhar. 10 people were killed, including three children and four women, and five other people were wounded. A US Marine was killed in fighting in Anbar province and an American soldier died in an accident northwest of Nasiriyah.
