BAGHDAD (Reuters) - At least six car bombs exploded across Iraq on Monday killing at least 17 people as insurgents defied a widespread U.S.-Iraqi security clampdown. 

In the Kurdish city of Arbil, a suicide bomber drove his car into a crowd of police recruits, killing at least 12 and wounding about 100 on a soccer field, officials said. Five car bombs blew up in Baghdad, targeting Iraqi police and soldiers.
