 Coolness: 339785 | Not that anyone cares, but 114 iraqi's were just killed and 160 injured.. but who cares, they weren't white so this wont get much coverage.
[ news.bbc.co.uk ] At least 140 people have been killed in a deadly series of bomb attacks and shootings across Iraq. In the worst incident, at least 114 people were killed and 160 injured when a car bomb exploded in Baghdad's mainly Shia district of Kadhimiya. During the night, gunmen killed 17 people in the nearby town of Taji after dragging them from their homes. Al-Qaeda in Iraq claimed it had begun a nationwide bombing campaign to avenge a recent major offensive on rebels. In a statement on a website, the group said it acted after US and Iraqi forces attacked insurgents in the northern town of Talafar. Iraqi officials said 157 rebels were killed and nearly 300 arrested during the operation begun last week. Wednesday's violence occurred as a final draft of the Iraqi constitution was handed to the UN for printing and distribution. After months of negotiations, the draft is due to be distributed to Iraqis before a referendum on it on 15 October. In other developments: * Three Iraqi soldiers are killed when a car bomb targets their patrol in the Al-Adel district of western Baghdad * A bomb explodes by an Iraqi National Guard convoy in the northern Baghdad district of Shula, killing at least four people and wounding 22 * Two US soldiers are wounded as a suicide bomber rams a vehicle packed with explosives into their Humvee in east Baghdad * A suicide car bomber attacks a US convoy close to the Rashid Hotel in the Green Zone, although it is not yet known if there were any other casualties * A suicide bomber blows himself up in Baghdad without causing any other casualties. Labourers targeted The Kadhimiya attack was the deadliest in Iraq for several weeks. We gathered and suddenly a car blew up and turned the area into fire and dust and darkness Hadi, bomb survivor Attack on 'rebel town' A suicide bomber drove his car at 0630 (0230 GMT) into queues of labourers who had gathered on Baghdad's Oruba Square, Iraqi police spokesman Maj Musa Abdel Kerim said. The BBC's Richard Galpin in Baghdad says that every day large numbers of construction workers gather in the square in the north of the city, waiting to be picked up by their employers. According to some reports the attacker lured the workers towards the vehicle before detonating the bomb, our correspondent adds. "We gathered and suddenly a car blew up and turned the area into fire and dust and darkness," one of the workers, a man named Hadi, told Reuters news agency. Blindfolded The shootings in Taji took place a few hours before the bomb attack in Oruba Square. The victims, said to be civilians, were shot dead in execution-style killings. According to an interior ministry official quoted by AFP news agency, the attackers in Taji, 15km (nine miles) north of Baghdad, arrived in the town in "military vehicles" dressed as soldiers, gathered several people in a square and shot them. According to our correspondent witnesses say the victims were Shias. Hours later in the same town gunmen are reported to have opened fire on a group of Sunni Muslims at a market, killing six. There have been frequent sectarian killings in Baghdad and central Iraq as mainly Sunni insurgents seek to incite fear and hatred between the Muslim communities. |
