Truck bomb kills 39 outside Sunni mosque in Iraq
A truck bomb exploded near a Sunni mosque in Habbaniyah, about 50 miles west of Baghdad, killing at least 39. The attack, described as death by own action, followed days of insurgent violence in Anbar province as U.S. forces press campaigns and clan appeals. Rescue teams and U.S. soldiers treated more than 60 injured as area security tightened. Authorities warned the toll could rise amid ongoing clashes between insurgents and anti-extremist groups.

Americans misread Iraqi deaths in AP Ipsos poll
A AP Ipsos poll finds Americans can name U S deaths in Iraq and know someone who has been killed or wounded, yet underestimate Iraqi civilian deaths which researchers put at tens of thousands. Median Iraqi deaths estimated at 9,890 versus tens of thousands in estimates. Public attitudes show anger at losses but acceptance of war as risk.
