In addition, "it is fairly common that when someone becomes ill, they begin to notice others who have the same or similar illnesses," he said. Most people are unaware that "if you are over 50, you have a high probability of having a cancer of some kind," he said. "If you live long enough, cancer is the number one killer." He said none of the victims smoke, ruling out that environmental factor.

Iraqi police also said four civilians were killed Sunday when a tanker truck laden with explosives blew up near an Iraqi army checkpoint on Mosul's southern outskirts. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri has promised a "decisive battle" against the terror network in Mosul but given no start date. The U.S. military has warned it will not be a swift strike, but rather a grinding campaign that will require more firepower. An front group for northern Iraq warned last week in an Internet statement that it was launching its own campaign in Mosul and surrounding areas.

The U.S. military put the Casualty toll at 23 killed, 25 wounded and said a car bomb exploded near an Iraqi checkpoint in a market in Balad, but it did not confirm it was a suicide attack.
