Nearly 20 Iraqis Die in Baghdad Attacks

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Drive-by shootings, roadside bombings and sectarian killings left at least 19 Iraqis dead in Baghdad Friday. American and Iraqi troops swept the oil-rich region of Kirkuk for suspected insurgents and captured dozens.

Drive-by gunmen killed three policemen in west Baghdad and three power station workers heading to their jobs in Taji, just north of the capital, police said.

In south Baghdad's Saydiyah district, gunmen killed four employees of a pastry shop, police said. Nearby, a roadside bomb killed a policeman.

Retaliatory killings between Shiite and Sunni Muslims have become increasingly common in the capital since the Feb. 22 bombing of an important Shiite shrine. Baghdad police said they discovered eight bodies, blindfolded and shot, on Friday in the Binok and Kazimiyah neighborhoods.
