Violence across Iraq Saturday has killed at least 31 people.
In the northern oil center of Kirkuk, police say a suicide attacker exploded a car bomb near a police academy, killing at least 17 people and wounding many others.
Near Mosul, in the town of Tal Afar, doctors say at least 11 people have been killed and more than 50 injured in heavy fighting between U.S.-backed Iraqi forces and insurgents.
In response to heavy fire, a U.S. warplane dropped a bomb near the town. And an American helicopter came under fire and was forced to make an emergency landing.
South of Baghdad, insurgents killed at least three policemen. It was not immediately clear if the police were killed in a raid or a mortar attack.
