Assassinations, ambushes, rocket attacks
Just another day in pReznit aWol's Operation FUBAR
A suicide car-bomber killed a dozen people Sunday near a US garrison in Baghdad and gunmen assassinated a senior Education Ministry official in a day that also included a rocket attack on the Green Zone housing the US administration and ambushes around the capital. A US helicopter crashed but the crew survived.
Two other top Iraqi officials narrowly escaped death in what appears to be a campaign to target key figures in the new Iraqi administration as it prepares to take power June 30.
At least 10 people, including three Shiite militiaman, died in overnight clashes with US troops in Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood.
Elsewhere, an American soldier was killed and two others were wounded Sunday during an ambush near Taji, 12 miles north of Baghdad. One assailant was also killed.

Safe in Washington, Secretary of State Colin Powell said US forces would do "everything we can to "try to defeat these murderers." However, he said, "it's hard to protect an entire government."
