Two Car Bombs Kill One Hundred
The bombings occurred at a
Shiite market in Baghdad killing 100
people, and wounding scores, in what appeared to be a renewed campaign
of Sunni insurgent violence. Monday's first blast, a parked car
bomb, tore through stalls of vendors peddling DVDs and secondhand
clothes shortly after noon in the Bab al-Sharqi market between Tayaran
and Tahrir squares, one of the busiest parts of Baghdad. Seconds later,
another bomb went off.
Police estimated that each car was loaded with nearly 220 pounds of
explosives. The explosions left body parts strewn on the bloodstained
pavement as black smoke rose into the sky.
Rumors Spread Of Marine Revenge
At
Baquba, where a marine helicopter went down two days ago, there
was a mortar barrage on a market. Israeli operatives quickly spread the
rumor it was the Americans taking revenge.
Who Are The Real Bombers?
Who did this, a Sunni garage mechanic, a farmer, a plumber, a cook?
And why would they kill a hundred civilians, mainly women and children?
These are Israeli operatives.
