Revenge attacks grip town north of Baghdad | Top News | Reuters.com: "BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Shouting for revenge after the slaying of 14 Shi'ite workers, black-clad militias killed at least 31 people in a spasm of sectarian violence in a town north of Baghdad, police, doctors and local residents said on Sunday.

There was also violence in the restive northern oil city of Kirkuk on Sunday, where four car bombs, three of them detonated in suicide attacks, exploded in quick succession, killing 10 people and emptying the streets as terrified residents stayed indoors.

U.S. and Iraqi troops patrolled the city as helicopters hovered overhead. In one of worst attacks, a suicide bomber blew up his car outside a teachers' institute for women, killing four people. They included two students who had been standing at the main gates and were burned beyond recognition.

Three U.S. soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb south of Baghdad, the U.S. military said, adding to a toll that, at the current pace, could make October the deadliest month for U.S. forces since January 2005. Nearly 60 have been killed so far." Read complete post here.
