BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Drive-by shooters killed a senior member of Iraq's Interior Ministry Wednesday, continuing a campaign against the new government's administration and security infrastructure.
Brig. Gen. Ibrahim Khamas was shot and killed in his car by four gunmen driving in a four-door sedan as he drove through Baghdad's southeastern Zaafaraniyah district, police Col. Nouri Abdullah said. Khamas' wife and driver were injured in the attack, he added.

Mortar attacks by insurgents in northern Mosul on Wednesday killed two Iraqis and injured eight others, including seven school children, police and hospital officials said.

A car bomb detonated in Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of Baghdad, injuring 14 people - including 12 police officers. The car, parked in central Baqouba, blew up as a three-car police convoy drove by, damaging all the vehicles, police Col. Mudhafar Muhammed said.

In Baghdad, a roadside bomb targeting an American military convoy driving through the eastern part of the city injured seven Iraqis, police Lt. Col. Ahmed Aboud Efait said. There were no reports of any Americans injured, he added.
