BAGHDAD, JAN 13 -
Iraqi officials say three explosions in the capital killed two people as Vice President Joe Biden meets with Iraqi leaders to discuss the U.S. troop exit.
Iraqi police officials said three mosques — two Sunni and one Shiite — were targeted by the roadside blasts Thursday morning. Eleven people were also wounded.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
Violence in Iraq has dropped to all-time lows but bombings like Thursday's show the lingering security challenges the country will face when American troops go home at the end of this year.
Iraqi officials said Biden's visit would center on whether to keep any American troops in the country past the Dec. 31 departure date.
