BOMBS OVER BAGHDAD

Police said at least 37 people were killed and 95 were wounded Sunday in car bombings and mortar attacks in the Shiite slum of Sadr City in Baghdad.

Two car bombs exploded at a market shortly before sundown and were followed by four mortar rounds.

Elsewhere, police said a roadside bomb targeting a police patrol on a busy street in a mostly Sunni area of Baghdad killed at least six people and wounded 12. Across the city, drive-by shooters killed three people in a car. A rocket landed near a house, killing one occupant and injuring two others.

About 20 miles south of Baghdad, gunmen ambushed and killed a police major as he headed to work.
