"A suicide car bomber struck as worshippers were leaving a Shiite mosque in a northern Iraqi town Friday, the Muslim day of prayer, killing at least 10 people. Twelve other people were killed elsewhere by militants as the Sunni-dominated insurgency pressed its "all-out war" against the government.

The 22 deaths came during a third day of mayhem in which nearly 200 people were killed in bombings, mostly in Baghdad. More than 600 have been wounded in the stunning rampage by insurgents, including al-Qaida in

Iraq.

The bombing in the northern town of Tuz Khormato, 130 miles north of Baghdad, wounded 21 people at the Hussainiyat al-Rasoul al-Azam Mosque.

In other violence, gunmen opened fire on day laborers in the capital, killing three and wounding a dozen.

'We are innocent people ... Those criminals and terrorists came and did this to us,' said Salah Aziz Ali, one of the wounded.

On Thursday, suicide bombers killed at least 31 people in three attacks targeting Iraqi police. A day earlier, at least 167 people were killed and 570 wounded in more than a dozen bombings in Baghdad. The largest single toll resulted from a suicide bombing against day laborers in the largely Shiite Kazimiyah neighborhood in north Baghdad."
