BAGHDAD (AFP) — At least 26 people were killed when gunmen stormed a Baghdad police station and a suicide bomber targeted a Shiite mosque, exacerbating fears that unrest will prevent Iraq's key elections in January.
As the NATO chief opened the alliance's Baghdad headquarters on what was the deadliest day in the capital since September 30, Ukrainian MPs voted to recall their country's 1,600 troops serving in Iraq.
The latest killings, claimed by the Al-Qaeda group of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Iraq's most wanted man, came a day after US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld admitted he had underestimated the Iraqi insurgency.
