Insurgents kept up a steady pace of attacks yesterday, killing six people in separate attacks around the country.
In the capital, assailants gunned down Colonel Jassem Mohammed Jomaa, an industry ministry official on his way to work and his driver, an interior ministry source said.
Municipal workers found seven bodies on Baghdad's eastern outskirts, a grisly repeat of an incident last week in which the bodies of 14 farmers were found after being taken from the eastern Sadr City market by men in police uniforms, according to witnesses.
Bombers struck twice in the insurgent stronghold of Baquba, killing at least four Iraqis and injuring 17.
