With the Tal Afar blast, at least 72 people have been killed in attacks since Sunday.

In southern Iraq, police found the badly decomposed bodies of 22 Iraqi men who had been shot to death and dumped in a field, many of them bound and blindfolded, said Police Lt. Othman al-Lami of the Wasit provincial police.

He said the victims appeared to have been killed more than a month ago, and their identities were not immediately known, but the district — northeast of Kut, about 100 miles southeast of Baghdad — is mostly Shiite.

The U.S. military announced Wednesday that a Marine from the 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force died from a non-hostile gunshot wound two days earlier near Fallujah. The incident is under investigation.

The death brought to 1,919 the number of U.S. service members who have died since the Iraq war started in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
