BAGHDAD: A bomb planted in a minibus exploded near a parking lot of the Iraqi traffic police in a market neighborhood of northeastern Baghdad on Wednesday, killing at least 18 people and injuring 52, Ministry of Interior and police officials said.
The attack, in a small market of barbershops and butchers, happened in stages, according to the police. A small blast drew people from their homes, and then the minibus exploded. The attack appeared to target an Iraqi traffic police station nearby. At least three of those killed were Iraqi police officers.
Already starting to stink to high heaven.
There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the bombing, which was in the Nahdha neighborhood. However, the pace of violence in Iraq has picked up in the last few weeks with the approach of provincial elections, and both American and Iraqi security officials have warned that there could be more violence in the coming days....
Nahdha is a mixed Sunni and Shiite neighborhood.

Let's tweak that butt-head one more time:
"Under Saddam Hussein, Iraq's million or so Christians for the most part coexisted peacefully with Muslims, both the dominant Sunnis and majority Shiites (New York Times October 17, 2007)....
Sunnis, Shi'ites, and Christians lived side by side; many intermarried"
