BAGHDAD, May 13 — The insurgent coalition that includes al-Qaeda in Iraq asserted responsibility on Sunday for the ambush south of Baghdad that left four U.S. soldiers and an Iraqi interpreter dead and three other American soldiers missing….
The suicide truck bomb that exploded in Makhmur, near the southern border of the area known as Kurdistan, killed at least 50 people and wounded at least 115, according to government and hospital officials. The blast targeted the office of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, the political organization run by Massoud Barzani, at a time when Kurdish politicians and police were meeting to discuss constitutional issues surrounding the fate of territory around Kurdistan, said Col. Khurshid Abdullah of the 3rd Iraqi Army Division.
