A dust storm enveloped Baghdad on Thursday as explosions killed 11 people and wounded 19 -- all civilians, police said. The U.S. military, meanwhile, confirmed that a mass abduction from a security firm was the work of kidnappers masquerading as Interior Ministry commandos.

One of the deadly blasts targeted an Iraqi army patrol in Amariyah, a mostly Sunni neighborhood in west Baghdad, killing nine civilians and wounding six, according to Interior Ministry Maj. Falah al-Mohammedawi.
