Santa Fe News: Seven Iraqi Police Killed In Attacks; Search Continues For Americans Missing In Mosul

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Insurgents fired a rocket at the headquarters of the U.S.-led coalition after gunmen killed seven Iraqi policemen in a pair of attacks west of Baghdad. A senior Iraqi official blamed al-Qaida for many of the suicide bombings around the country in recent weeks.

In the north, military divers searched Monday the muddy waters of the Tigris River for three missing U.S. soldiers, including two pilots of an OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopter that crashed Sunday in Mosul during rescue operations after a patrol boat capsized.

It was the fifth U.S. helicopter lost in Iraq this month, three of which were downed by hostile fire.
