Iraqi suicide bombers caught on video
Irbil, Iraq - A video camera captured images of a man shaking hands with a Kurdish official seconds before blowing himself up in one of the two suicide bombings during Muslim holiday celebrations that killed 67 people. Kurds blamed Ansar al-Islam, a militant group allegedly linked to al-Qaeda, for the attacks.

In Baghdad, Brigadir General Mark Kimmitt said Tuesday the that United States investigation has not determined who was behind the Sunday attack, although he said it could have been carried out by Ansar al-Islam or al-Qaeda.

Kimmitt also said there had been an average of 23 engagements each day over the past week between US forces and Iraqi insurgents, a slight increase over the figure of 18 reported last week.
