BAGHDAD (AP) ? Iraqi authorities say bomb and mortar attacks across the country have killed eight people, including a judge.

In Tikrit, in central Iraq, a car bomb killed judge Sajid Abdul-Amir as he was driving to his work, police said.

In eastern Baghdad, two people were killed in a blast in a commercial street, police said. Meanwhile, mortar rounds landed on houses in the capital's western suburbs, killing two people.
