BAGHDAD Gunmen
blew up two Sunni mosques
Wednesday south of Baghdad,
causing heavy damage but no
casualties, police said, in an
apparent retaliatory attack a
day after a suicide truck
bombing devastated a
revered Shiite mosque in the
heart of the capital, killing at
least 87 people.
Thousands of U.S. and
Iraqi troops, meanwhile,
pressed forward on the sec
ond day of an operation
aimed at clearing out a Sunni
insurgent stronghold north
east of Baghdad. The U.S.
military said at least 30 al-
Qaida fighters were killed and
several bombs and weapons
caches destroyed as the sol
diers fought their way
through the streets of
Baqouba.
