BAGHDAD, Iraq – A lawyer for a co-defendant in Saddam Hussein's trial was shot to death and another lawyer was wounded in an ambush Tuesday in Baghdad, a member of the defense team said.
Adel al Zubeidi, who represented former Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan, was killed in the Adil neighborhood, according to lawyer Khamis al Obeidi.
Last month, Saadoun al Janabi, lawyer for Awad al Bandar, was abducted from his office by 10 masked gunmen. His body was found hours later on a sidewalk near a mosque in eastern Baghdad.
Meanwhile, roadside bombs killed at least seven Iraqi security troops across the country. A senior member of the Iraqi police in Basra and another policeman were killed when a roadside bomb exploded near his convoy south of the city, police said. In separate attacks, four Iraqi soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb in Khalis and a policeman died near Kirkuk.
The U.S. military released few details about the deaths of the four U.S. soldiers and their civilian translator who died Monday in a suicide car bombing. They were members of the U.S. Army's Task Force Baghdad and were killed about 5 p.m. Monday, the military said.
Air Force, Navy Airstrikes
Meanwhile, the U.S. Central Command reported that Air Force and Navy jets carried out airstrikes Monday against insurgent targets near the Syrian border, Ramadi and near Mahmoudiya.
In other developments Tuesday, police said they found six handcuffed corpses in a water treatment plant. One civilian was killed when gunmen opened fire in the Dora district in the south of the capital and a car bomb exploded near Mustansiriyah University, killing one person and injuring another.

Now that place is a safe place, good thing we went over there to make it so safe.
Does anyone else remember about a year or so ago when we weren't calling this in Iraq a "war" anymore (about the time they stop letting reporters film troops which is also interesting)..
Then the administrattion decided they better call it a war again because troops were still dying..
