Five Iraqis were killed in a car bomb attack between the Shiite holy cities of Najaf and Karbala, said hospital officials. The attack took place at about 3:00 pm (1200 GMT) in the path of a US military convoy.
Elsewhere, two activists with links to Iraq's most wanted man, Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, have been detained in the city of Ramadi, the US Marines said. "Two key leaders of a terrorist group claiming affiliation with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's terrorist network were captured by soldiers of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team of First Marine Division ... in Al Ramadi recently," the marines said in a statement.
Saleh Arugayan Kahlil, also called Abu Ubaydah, and Bassim Mohammad Hazem, also known as Abu Khattab, were captured respectively on December 8 and 12 in Ramadi, the marines said, according to AFP.
Meanwhile, gunmen killed the dean of Baghdad University's School of Dentistry on Saturday. Hassan Al Rubaiei was driving along the western bank of the Tigris when gunmen sprayed his vehicle with automatic gunfire, a police official told Reuters.
