36 Die in Bloody Sunday

AFP reports that 36 Iraqis were killed in violence in that country on Sunday.

Guerrillas detonated a bomb in a crowded market in the Bayaa district of southern Baghdad on Sunday, killing at least 6 and wounding 13.

In Mosul, guerrillas fired mortar rounds at a US base, killing one US soldier and wounding another.

Young guerrillas assassinated a senior police official in Baquba, Col. Ali al-Azzawi.

AFP adds,‘ Elsewhere, a roadside bomb wounded three British soldiers in Basra, a British military spokesman said. A British patrol was caught in “a large explosion” in the city centre, he said, without giving further details. Witnesses said at least one Iraqi civilian was also wounded. ‘

Guerrillas also sabotaged a southern oil pipeline, setting it ablaze 60 km south of Basra.
