Amnesty International released a report stating that Iraq routinely tortures detainees in secret prisons. Meanwhile, at least four Iraqis were killed and seven more were wounded in reported violence.

In Baghdad, a bomb at a brigadier general’s house in Ghazaliya killed him, while a second bomb wounded four others. Gunmen stormed a home in Mushahda, forced a man and his son outside, and killed them both. Two Katyusha rockets fell in the Tigris River near the Green Zone.

Two kidnap victims were found in Kirkuk, one dead and one wounded. Two Naqshabandiya army members were captured. Meanwhile, security personnel wonder what will happen when American troops leave.

In Mosul, a pair of bombs targeting a police patrol wounded two people.

The government is trying to quell anger in Diwaniya, but critics think it is too little too late.

An I.E.D. targeting a U.S. patrol exploded in Taji but no casualties were reported.
