"Bring It On"
Insurgents bent on sabotaging Iraq's Jan. 30 elections unleashed mortars and bombs and opened fire in several cities Monday, killing at least 22 policemen and soldiers and targeting polling stations.Witnesses said burned bodies were scattered in a police compound in Baiji after a car bomb killed at least 10 people in the oil refining town in the Sunni Muslim heartland north of Baghdad. At least 20 people were wounded, mostly police.
Near Baquba, another guerrilla stronghold northeast of the capital, gunmen opened fire at a checkpoint and killed eight soldiers, a National Guard officer said.
