BAGHDAD -- Four children collecting trash were killed Friday by a homemade bomb in Baghdad, and masked gunmen killed an Iraqi Army officer in a restaurant in the southern city of Basra, police said.

The children died in the New Baghdad neighborhood in the southeast section of the city, police Capt. Sabah Hamid Al-Fartosi said. Insurgents frequently use hidden roadside bombs against U.S. and Iraqi Army convoys.


In the attack in Basra, three masked gunmen killed an Iraqi Army officer -- Maj. Mahmoud Hassan Yassiri -- late Thursday, Capt. Firas Timimi of the Iraqi Army said.

A U.S. Marine was killed Wednesday in a vehicle accident during combat operations in Fallujah, 40 miles west of Baghdad, the military said Friday in a statement.
