BAGHDAD — Four U.S. troops, several Iraqi national guardsmen and a popular Baghdad police commander have been killed since Monday night as militants continued to unleash a string of attacks across the nation.

Mourners at the funeral of the neighborhood police station chief were dealt a further blow when militants opened fire on the crowd, injuring five people.

In the last week, violence has left at least 130 people dead, mostly Iraqi civilians. The increasing bloodshed underscored the security challenge facing the interim government of Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, who returned to Iraq on Tuesday after a 10-day trip aimed at enlisting help from other Arab countries.

Hours before Allawi's return, a man in an explosives-packed car plowed into a checkpoint manned by members of Iraq's national guard outside the city of Baqubah, north of Baghdad. The driver tried to veer into a U.S. military convoy but exploded his car at the guard post, U.S. officials said.

and all hell broke out!
