U.S. October death toll in Iraq hits 70

Eleven more U.S. troops were slain in combat, the military said Wednesday, putting October on track to be the deadliest month for U.S. forces since the siege of Fallujah nearly two years ago.


On Thursday, a suicide car bomb hit a major police station in the northern city of Mosul, prompting authorities to impose an indefinite curfew throughout the city, police and witnesses said.


The bombing at 7:15 a.m. caused extensive damage to the station and there were casualties, but no specific figures were immediately available, according to police Col. Abdul-Karim al-Jibouri.
