On Monday in Baghdad, Iraq, two bombs went off killed 25 people and injuring 48 other people.
The first bomb was in a car parked outside a crowded marketplace. This is a very smart tactic because people started to crowd around the exploded car, another bomb -- from a suicide bomber, went off, killing 25 people that had surrounded the car.

Afghan governor: U.S. forces killed guards

After Afghan millitants shot at the U.S. military forces, the U.S. military said that they killed 14 people. However, says the provincial governor, the 14 that died were merely security guards who were protecting the road construction crew during the shooting.
When the U.S. military stopped 3 cars they had been tracking, coalition forces for the U.S. military arrived and the militants in the cars fired on the help that had arrived. Then a helicopter was called in and they killed 14 people while trying to shoot the 3 cars.
The U.S. have been tracking those car for a long time and they needed to catch and question those people before they got away. They had been waiting for the cars to get away from the crowded cities because if there was trouble, no civilians would get killed to injured. And they were right to call upon those cars because they later found rocket-propelled grenades, hand grenades, and AK-47s in the vehicles.
