Bombs killed at least 40 people in Iraq on Thursday, including 20 at a tribal council meeting in the Anbar province, just days before the US military transfers control of security for the vast western region to the Iraqi forces.
The US military said three Marines and two interpreters were among the dead in Anbar. That took to 11 the number of the US soldiers killed in Iraq this week.
In the northern city of Mosul, a car bomb on a crowded street killed 18 people and wounded 80 near the office of the governor of surrounding Nineveh province, the US forces said.
A police spokesman in the nearby city of Falluja said 20 people had been killed and 12 wounded.
End.
