"Suicide bomber kills 2 in Baghdad; Homes, offices of two leaders are targeted" by Kim Gamel/Associated Press December 12, 2007
BAGHDAD - A suicide car bomber struck in one of the capital's most heavily guarded neighborhoods yesterday, killing two guards at a checkpoint near the home and offices of two prominent politicians, including the first prime minister after Saddam Hussein. Both politicians were out of the country at the time.
The explosion took place in a neighborhood bordering the US-protected Green Zone in western Baghdad, less than a quarter-mile from buildings that included the home and office compound of Iyad Allawi, a secular Shi'ite, and offices of Saleh al-Mutlaq, the head of the Iraqi National Dialogue Front, a Sunni political bloc.
It was the second bombing in two days to strike guards of Allawi, who is on a short list of possible future national leaders and a fierce critic of Shi'ite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
On Monday, police said a roadside bomb targeted a vehicle carrying guards for Allawi in the same neighborhood. Two guards were wounded, as were three policemen and a civilian, officials said.
Although the attacks caused few casualties, the fact that they occurred in a relatively secure part of the city is troublesome. US troops have managed to shut down numerous car bomb factories around the city, reducing the number and intensity of bombings in recent months.
But US commanders have warned that security in the capital is still fragile, despite marked improvements since last summer.
The suicide bomber yesterday detonated his explosives at the first checkpoint along a street which includes both politicians' offices.
Mutlaq, speaking from Amman, Jordan, said the bomber "claimed that he was an employee and had access." But police said the vehicle was speeding toward the checkpoint and the guards opened fire.
Mutlaq confirmed reports by police and hospital officials that two guards were killed.
"Everyone is vulnerable," he told Al-Arabiya television. "We have been targeted by three groups - the Americans, Iraqi forces, and a suicide bomber. Everyone should wake up and do something to change this situation."
In January, six Iraqis were killed in a US-led raid on other offices for Mutlaq. The US military and Iraqi police said they suspected the offices were being used as an Al Qaeda safe house.
Hussam al-Azawi, a member of Allawi's party, said there were indications of an assassination plot ahead of the suicide attack.
"The threats and plots came from a neighboring country," Azawi said, without elaborating. "We received intelligence about this and informed the government and the Americans to reinforce the guards at our headquarters."
In a statement, Allawi's Iraqi National Accord bloc also said it had informed the United States, the UN and the Iraqi government of a plot against the former prime minister. "Unfortunately no action was taken," the statement said.
Oooooooooh!!! INSIDE JOB STINK!!!!!!!!!
Also Tuesday, Sunni tribal sheik who promoted national unity and opposed Al Qaeda was killed along with his nephew in a drive-by shooting near Tal Afar, 260 miles northwest of Baghdad. The attack was the latest in a series of strikes against Sunnis who have joined forces with the American and Iraqi governments against the terror network.
In the southern city of Basra, the bullet-riddled bodies of a Christian woman and her brother were found in a garbage dump on Monday, police and church officials said yesterday, speaking on condition of anonymity because they feared reprisal. The victims had been kidnapped the day before."
I take all these articles with a grain of salt now, readers -- except for the dead -- because it is all Zionist propaganda run through the Zionist shit screen of the AmeriKan MSM!!!!
And here is the HIDDEN violence (last two paragraphs of the NYT, natch):
"Rare Look Inside Baghdad Museum" CARA BUCKLEY
BAGHDAD — In violence in Baghdad on Tuesday, two policemen were killed when a car bomb exploded near security booths guarding the homes of Ayad Allawi, the former prime minister, and Saleh al-Mutlak, a member of Parliament.
Mr. Mutlak is the head of the Sunni-Arab party, the National Dialogue Front. Twelve policemen and guards were wounded, though neither Mr. Allawi nor Mr. Mutlak was hurt.
Gee, if you read the NYT, I can see why you think the surge worked, and why you wouldn't know shit about this world!
