BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Attackers detonated a car bomb near police and government buildings in the western city of Haditha on Thursday, killing 10 Iraqis, while the prime minister said he would create a new security service geared toward halting the insurgency.

Police apparently thwarted an attack in Karbala, where police chased a car after receiving a tip it was filled with explosives. The two militants inside detonated their bomb, killing only themselves and causing no other casualties.

On Wednesday, a suicide attacker in Baghdad killed at least 10 people in a car bombing near Iraqi government headquarters and insurgents assassinated a provincial governor in an ambush of his convoy.

I predicted this in the days before the war...that we would turn Iraq into another persistent and protracted conflict like the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, replete with a continual supply of suicide bombs and mutual assassinations. Only in the case, our troops are right smack in the middle of it and unable to get out of the way.
