baghdad bridgeA suicide truck bomber struck a strategic bridge north of Baghdad on Tuesday, sending cars plunging into the river and killing at least 10 people, police said. The attack occurred about noon on the Thiraa Dijla bridge in Taji, a town near a U.S. air base some 12 miles north of the capital, police said, according to the AP. The bridge lies on the main highway that links Baghdad with the northern city of Mosul.

According to the AP, Al-Maliki has struggled over the past days to pull together a summit of Iraq's main religious and ethnic groups. The meeting finally appeared likely after U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker called on Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi, the lone Sunni leader invited to the talks that are scheduled for Tuesday. Al-Hashemi's attendance had been in question.



A senior American official said the stage was set for major changes in the "structure, nature and direction of the Iraqi state."
