"Iraqi labor minister escapes suicide car bombing" by Kim Gamel, Associated Press | October 23, 200
BAGHDAD -- 8
Iraq's labor minister escaped assassination Thursday when a suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden SUV into his convoy, killing at least nine people in one of the safest areas of the capital.
The blast came on a day when the U.S. relinquished control of a province that includes much of the area south of Baghdad once known as the "triangle of death." Babil is the 12th of 18 Iraqi provinces to be placed under Iraqi control, paving the way for U.S. forces eventually to go home. Americans will stay in the area to help the Iraqis when needed.
Yeah, WHEN?! Been hearing this for FIVE FUCKING YEARS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Police and hospital officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to release the information, put the death toll at 14. It is difficult to determine casualty tolls from bombings in Iraq because the aftermath is usually very chaotic and many people rush victims away from the site. --more--"
But they can holler "suicider" without much claim. Pfft!
See Occupation Iraq: Israel's IEDs and associated links within. Yes, I do get tired of the horse shit Zionist propaganda, readers!
