在遍及伊拉克全国的一系列汽车爆炸及枪击事件中，至少32人丧生，100多人受伤。其中最严重的攻击发生在Taji市，四个汽车炸弹相继爆炸。Rami Ruhayem从巴格达报道。

Across Iraq, car bombs went off as army patrols drove by. And gunmen with silencers attacked army checkpoints. It started in and ROUND BAGHDAD but quickly spread outwards. The northern city of Mosul and the southern city of Kut were hit in addition to Kirkuk which borders the Kurdish region in the north. Civilians were among those killed and injured. But the aim of the attackers seems to have been to kill as many security personnel as possible wherever they could reach them.

伊拉克全国上下，即使警车巡逻驶过，汽车爆炸照样发生。枪手用带消音器的手机袭击了许多检查站。暴力事件首先在ROUND BAGHDAD发生，然后迅速向外蔓延。与北方Kurdish地区接壤的Kirkuk，以及北方城市Mosul及南方城市Kut都遭到重创。死伤者包括平民，不过，袭击者似乎旨在杀死警卫人员，越多越好，只要袭击者能够接近他们。

An Islamist group in Syria has published an online video which, it says, shows five captured Yemeni officers purportedly sent to Syria to help fight the rebels. The video shows identity cards of the five men, one of whom appears to be a lieutenant colonel. A rights group in Yemen said they were army officers who had been studying at a military academy in Aleppo and whose families reported their missing last month.
