BAGHDAD (UPI) -- A Sunday explosion near a U.S. military patrol in Baghdad killed one civilian and injured two others, although no U.S. troops were injured.

Also Sunday, an attack by about 30 Iraqi insurgents resulted in the deaths of five Iraqi police officers in an ambush at a checkpoint in Baghdad.

Authorities also announced the arrest of five people suspected of recently blowing up three cars in northern Baghdad. But, in the northern Iraq city of Mosul, 80 prisoners were released Sunday for lack of evidence linking them to violence in the city.
