BAGHDAD (AFP) - Iraq (news - web sites)'s insurgency began the new year by claiming the lives of at least seven Iraqis and one US marine, with elections less than a month away and no end in sight to the violence.

A loud explosion shook central Baghdad Saturday afternoon, rattling windows, but there was no word on what caused the blast in the capital, regularly convulsed by mortar, rocket and bomb blasts.



Two beheaded corpses were found in a western Baghdad neighborhood, the interior ministry said, while one civilian was killed and two wounded in a roadside bombing in the south of the capital, medics and witnesses said.


A video posted on the Internet showed the purported execution of five national guards in the western city of Ramadi by militants linked to Al-Qaeda's chief in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
