U.S. Reports Sharp Rise in Iraq Roadside Bombings

BAGHDAD — Warning of even more violence before December elections, a U.S. military official in Baghdad released figures Thursday showing roadside bomb attacks have risen sharply since the spring, with nearly 2,100 such blasts in the last two months alone.

There were 1,029 explosions and 96 U.S. troop deaths in October, the bloodiest month for the military since January.
