BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Bombs killed a U.S. soldier and seven Iraqis on Monday
as politicians haggled over key posts in the new Cabinet, officials said.
Another American died the day before in northern Iraq, according to a U.S.
statement.

Monday's worst attack occurred when a bomb exploded in a car parked near an Iraqi
court in central Baghdad, killing five Iraqi civilians and wounding 10, said police
Lt. Col. Falah Mohamadawi.

In eastern Baghdad, a car bomb exploded during morning rush hour near a police
patrol on Palestine street in eastern Baghdad, killing two policemen and wounding
12 Iraqis: five policemen and seven civilians, said police Lt. Ahmed Qassim.

Southeast of the capital, a U.S. military convoy was hit by a roadside bomb
at about 11:10 a.m., damaging one vehicle and killing a U.S. army soldier riding in it,
the military said.
