Sunnis and Kurds Reject Iraqi Leader's Bid - New York Times

Sunnis and Kurds Reject Iraqi Leader's Bid - New York Times:

In the southern town of Qurna, believed by some to be the site of the Garden of Eden, the mayor and his wife were shot dead in their car on Sunday morning.

In Baghdad, concealed bombs in five locations killed at least four people and wounded at least 16. The police in the capital found a total of five bodies at three other sites; the victims had been tortured and shot.

In Kirkuk, to the north, an assailant threw a grenade at an American convoy. The Americans killed him and discovered that he was an Iraqi Army officer, said Col. Yadgar Abdullah, of the Iraqi police.

But it's not a civil war. Nope, not civil at all.
