| Description | American forces conducted raids in and around Baghdad on Friday, killing two insurgents and wounding an Iraqi woman the militants were using as a "human shield," the U.S. command said.
In the capital, sectarian violence killed at least four Iraqis and wounded 23, police said, and a Sunni-Arab mosque was attacked by men armed with rocket-propelled grenades.
Meanwhile, there was no sign that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki was having any luck stopping a widening revolt within his divided government.
On Thursday, two senior Sunni politicians joined prominent Shiite lawmakers and Cabinet members in criticizing his policies. Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi said he wanted to see al-Maliki's government gone and another "understanding" for a new coalition put in place with guarantees that ensure collective decision-making.
