A bomb exploded near the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Sunday, killing eight people, the US military said. "An explosion detonated by insurgents in Hamam Al Alil killed eight and injured at least another two Iraqi citizens. Several of those killed were Iraqi security guards, police said. Insurgents have killed 10 people and injured at least 22 Iraqi citizens during attacks in northern Iraq in the last week, the military said. Mosul has become a priority in the battle against Iraq's insurgency since US forces killed many guerrillas in the former rebel stronghold of Fallujah in a major offensive in November.
