Major General Mark Hertling, commanding general of coalition forces in northern Iraq, gave no specific examples of what he termed "spectacular" attacks, referring only to big car bombs and to suicide attacks.
"These spectacular events and intimidation are designed to incite fear in the population," Hertling told a news conference in Baghdad.
