A suicide car bomb detonated near a US-Iraq joint patrol north of Baghdad on Friday, killing two US soldiers and two Iraqi policemen, a police source told Xinhua.

"The joint patrol was attacked near Baquba, about 60 km northeast of Baghdad. Another seven Iraqi policemen and two US soldiers were wounded," the source said.

Violence surged in Iraq on Friday. Earlier in the day, two Shiite mosques were hit by suicide bombings, with at least 65 people killed. Another six were killed Friday morning in a powerful explosion near the Interior Ministry complex in central Baghdad.

2. Pile 'em high

GrassBush

Pile the bodies high in Austerlitz and Waterloo Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the grass; bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in Gettyburg Baghdad
And pile them high in Ypres and Vedum Baquba and Al Fallaujah

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the grass bush.
Let me work.
