Wave of Violence Continues in Iraq Thaier Al-Sudani/Reuters Women walked past a building in Baghdad that was damaged in one of the bombings that killed dozens over the weekend. BAGHDAD - A suicide bomber drove into an army patrol in Iraq on Monday, killing 22 soldiers and four civilians in a northern city as a wave of insurgent attacks throughout Iraq continued, a security source said. The attack on the patrol in the city of Mosul came after a surge of violence at the two main prisons in Baghdad, where 29 people were killed in coordinated assaults late on Sunday, the Justice Ministry said. The dead included eight members of the security forces and 21 prisoners and another 25 prisoners were wounded while trying to escape, the ministry said. The assaults on the two prisons - Abu Ghraib west of Baghdad and Taji to the north - began with simultaneous mortar fire, followed by suicide bombers attacking the main gates, officials said. Security sources said that nine attackers had been killed during the clashes. A Parliament member and police officers said hundreds had escaped, most of them members of Al Qaeda, but that many were rearrested and that security forces were continuing to search by helicopters for the rest of the escaped detainees. Bombings, shootings and other attacks killed at least 84 people across Iraq on Saturday and Sunday as a wave of violence during Ramadan continued. The Information Ministry said more than 250 people have been killed since the holy month began two weeks ago.
