In Iraq, at least 13 people have been killed and more than 70 wounded in a suicide attack just outside Diyala province. Thousands of U.S. troops are engaged in a new offensive there against what the Pentagon says are al-Qaeda militants. Earlier today at least 11 civilians were wounded in a U.S. airstrike in Baquba. The U.S. military says it was firing on a militant safehouse but missed its target. The violence comes as The Washington Post reports Iraq’s government is in disarray. Iraqi Vice President Adel Abdul Mahdi said he tried to resign last week amidst growing frustration with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
