"Blast Kills 15 in Shiite Area of Baghdad" by ALISSA J. RUBIN
BAGHDAD, Sept. 8 — A bomb in a parked car exploded late Saturday in the Shiite stronghold Sadr City, killing 15 people, officials said, and it was one of three attacks against Mr. Sadr’s supporters on Saturday.
A roadside bomb struck Shiites in the holy city Kufa, Mr. Sadr’s base, killing five people. In Najaf, a drive-by shooting took the life of a tribal sheik who works closely with Mr. Sadr’s office in Najaf, said Sheik Salah al-Obeidi, a spokesman at the office.
The bomb in Baghdad, set between a market and a police station, killed civilians passing by as they did their weekly shopping. It wounded 45 people.
The Iraqi police found 11 unidentified bodies around Baghdad, according to figures from the Interior Ministry.
Scattered violence continued in Diyala Province, with eight civilians killed in several incidents and three unidentified bodies found by the police, a police official said.
An incident on Saturday gave a measure of the brutality that has become increasingly common in the northern province. Four members of a family in Dakok, south of Kirkuk, were killed at close range when they met with kidnappers of one family member’s son, said Capt. Taher Mahmud, a police official in Dakok. The kidnappers had called the young man’s family and said they were prepared to release him, then shot the family members when they arrived to pick him up."
[I believe all the violence is perpetrated by western intel organizations, or by natives participating in the Baghdad Option.
"Secatrianism" is ANOTHER LIE, folks, to MAINTAIN OUR PRESENCE THERE!!]

"Suicide bomber kills 15 in Baghdad; Top US general acknowledges difficulties" by Kim Gamel/Associated Press September 9, 2007
BAGHDAD - A suicide car bomber detonated his explosives-packed Mercedes near a row of stores in the Shi'ite militia stronghold of Sadr City yesterday, killing at least 15 people, police and hospital officials said.
[That stinks right out of the block, reader!]
The attack in the eastern Baghdad enclave came as at least 36 other people were killed or found dead in Iraq, including four who died in a bombing of an outdoor market in the Shi'ite holy city of Kufa.
Violence has been unrelenting in Iraq and the suicide bombing in Baghdad was among a series of attacks tempering US assertions of success in taming the capital.
The attacker in Sadr City was believed to be aiming for a busy market but was forced to detonate his explosives early after Iraqi police fired at his car, devastating a barbershop and other nearby stores.
Two barbers and six clients were among the 15 people killed, a police official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information.
AP Television News footage showed the charred wreckage of several cars that were destroyed in the blast, with pools of blood left on the pavement.
A man with a cast on his leg lay on a hospital bed in an overwhelmed emergency room as people fanned patients with pieces of paper to offer relief from the searing summer heat.
The overall number of civilians killed in Iraq has declined since Bush ordered some 30,000 American troops to Baghdad and surrounding areas earlier this year.
[Why do they keep lying, reader?
Why does AmeriKa's MSM keep lying to its people?]
Elsewhere, the US military announced the Army's first use of a drone aircraft to kill enemy fighters in Iraq. The Hunter unmanned aerial vehicle dropped a precision bomb on two suspected insurgents believed to be preparing to plant roadside bombs on Sept. 1, the military said."
["Suspected insurgents?" If they were not, that is MURDER!
Also MURDER even if they were "insurgents."
Hey, why wasn't use of the drone the top story? Seems like big news!
Now we can have computer consolers in Nevada rain down MASS-MURDER upon innocent Iraqis!!
This is great news! We need never lose soldiers again.
Just arm your man-less drones and BLAST AWAY!
Sorry, Amurka, but WHAT A BUNCH of whining, crying COWARDS you are!!!
Won't even risk FLYING a PLANE in Iraq now.
Gonna LAUNCH MASS-MURDER form a darkened, air-conditioned room in Nevada!
Aren't you PROUD, Amurka?
Proud that you commit MASS-MURDER on an unprecedented scale, and you NEVER HAVE TO SEE IT?
Question: Would you hate someone who came and bombed you from on high, with REMOTE-CONTROLLED AIRCRAFT!?!?
Or would you simply LOVE them and shower them with flowers and candies?]
