In Iraq, at least 13 Sunni mosques have come under fire since Wednesday’s attack on the Askariya shrine in Samarra. Despite the attacks, Iraq has avoided a surge in violence that followed the first bombing of the Shia shrine last year. Thirty-three bodies were found in Baghdad Thursday — a relative low for the past several months. Insurgents fired a barrage of rockets into the Baghdad Green Zone, hitting a street Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte had visited just minutes before. Meanwhile, the U.S. military has announced five U.S. troops have been killed over the last day.
