March 30 (Reuters) - Following are security developments in Iraq as of 1000 GMT on Friday:

MOSUL - Police said they found 25 bodies in the northern city of Mosul on Thursday. Police said they believed the high number of killings was triggered by tensions linked to sectarian violence in nearby Tal Afar, where 155 people were killed this week in attacks.

HILLA - Gunmen killed two policemen in a drive-by shooting and wounded another in a village near the city of Hilla, police said. Hilla is 100 km (62 miles) south of Baghdad.

BAGHDAD - A roadside bomb killed one American soldier and wounded another in southern Baghdad on Thursday, the U.S. military said.

DIWANIYA - Gunmen shot dead a man in front of his shop in Diwaniya, 180 km (112 miles) south of Baghdad, on Thursday, police said.

BAGHDAD - Iraqi and U.S. forces captured a man believed to be involved in bringing explosively formed penetrators (EFPs) into Iraq, the U.S. military said. The EFPs are a particularly lethal form of roadside bomb.
