"Suicide blasts strike Baghdad, Kirkuk; Women kill 57, injure 280; Attacks follow lull in violence" by Caesar Ahmed and Ned Parker, Los Angeles Times | July 29, 2008
BAGHDAD - Female suicide bombers killed 57 people and left another 280 wounded in three attacks yesterday on Shi'ite pilgrims marching in Baghdad and in another attack on a Kurdish demonstration in the ethnically mixed city of Kirkuk.
Twenty-five people were killed in Kirkuk and 178 wounded, when a woman strapped with explosives blew herself up. Another 32 people were killed in Baghdad, in addition to 102 wounded in the attacks by three female suicide bombers, police and medical sources said.
The bloodshed occurred at a time when Iraq had been enjoying a four-year low in violence. The attacks yesterday proved a reminder of how raw Iraq's ethnic and sectarian divisions remain and showcased the ability of extremists to cause damage.
Yeah, just in case you thought WINNING the UNWINNABLE WAR meant we could LEAVE any time soon!!!!
The Iraqi security forces had hired about 200 women to search females around the city, knowing that Al Qaeda in Iraq and other extremist groups have increasingly turned to female suicide bombers to evade checkpoints and carry out lethal attacks.
But with up to a million pedestrians flooding the streets and the haphazard searches at various points on the roads, it proved impossible to search every woman.
Many were stunned, thinking the bombings on Shi'ite holidays were a thing of the past.--MORE--"
Well, we know why they aren't, don't we?
