the terror network.

Separately, the . military on Saturday reported the death of a Task Force
Lightning soldier in a non-combat incident.

In other violence reported by police:

. The bodies of four men abducted a week ago were found chopped into pieces
in Dujail, 50 miles north of Baghdad.

. A roadside bomb killed one civilian and wounded another while they were
driving on the highway south of Baghdad.

The officials who reported the violence spoke on condition of anonymity
because they were not authorized to release the information.
