In Baghdad, a suicide car bomber killed four people, included two police officers. Other attacks across the city wounded five U.S. soldiers. And in Baquba, a police officer was killed in a drive-by shooting.

Meanwhile, the U.S. military says soldiers killed two suspected members of al-Qaida in Iraq and detained 22 others during raids in Mosul and Ramadi.

The violence comes after Iraq's Independent Electoral Commission said it found no serious election fraud in Iraq's recent constitutional referendum. Official results have not yet been announced.
