Insurgents have attacked a car carrying at least three Westerners in the northern Iraq city of Mosul, killing them and their Iraqi driver, and chopping off the head of one victim.
Also in the north of the country, three people were killed in a
missile attack on a Kirkuk camp for Kurdish returnees.
A ten-year-old child was also seriously wounded in the strike on the camp in Kirkuk's northeastern Azadi neighbourhood.
