In Baghdad, a car bomb killed at least three people and wounded eight
others near a restaurant in the mainly Shi'ite Sadr City neighborhood.

Earlier, the U.S. military said coalition forces detained 16 suspects
in Sadr City believed to be members of a network that moves explosives
from Iran into Iraq, and sends militants to Iran.

In the northern city of Mosul, gunmen killed a journalist working with
the Aswat al-Iraq (Voices of Iraq) news agency.

Britain's Defense Ministry says a British soldier was shot and killed
while on patrol northwest of Basra.

The U.S. military also announced Thursday that a roadside bomb killed
an American soldier in Baghdad Wednesday. The military on Wednesday
had announced the deaths of four other U.S. soldiers.

The latest casualties have pushed the U.S. death toll in more than
four years of war in Iraq toward 3,500.

Near the western city of Fallujah and in Hit, coalition forces
arrested 15 people during operations while targeting al-Qaida in Iraq.
Another suspect believed involved in car bombings was arrested in a
separate raid in Baghdad.
