BAGHDAD, Dec. 4  -- Military officials say two apparent suicide bombs in Fallujah caused scores of casualties Thursday as the Iraqi government ratified a new security plan.

The Status of Forces Agreement will allow the United States to keep troops in Iraq through 2011 and was being formally ratified by the Presidency Council on Thursday.

The Los Angeles Times said two explosions killed at least six people in Fallujah but left more than 100 injured. The attacks were apparently aimed at Iraqi police.

U. S. officials told the Times there were also reports of a suicide bomb in Mosul that may have killed two Americans and six Iraqis; however, they cautioned that the information from the scene was preliminary and could change. (UPI)
