WORLD BRIEFING / IRAQ
A bombing at a bus station in a Shiite Muslim neighborhood in southwest Baghdad killed at least seven people, police said. It was the latest in a series of recent attacks that has left nearly 200 people dead in the run-up to a U.S. military withdrawal from Iraqi cities next Tuesday.
Three other bombs and a mortar shell killed two more people around the capital. The U.S. military said nine American soldiers were wounded in two roadside bomb attacks against a convoy in east Baghdad. A roadside bomb also killed a man in the northern city of Mosul.
