"NPR team escapes injury in bombing of car in Iraq" by Associated Press | December 1, 2008
BAGHDAD - An American journalist for National Public Radio and three Iraqi colleagues escaped injury yesterday when a bomb attached to their car exploded as it was parked along a street in west Baghdad.
Sounds like one of Israel's Post-It Bombs.
Ivan Watson, 33, a reporter for NPR on temporary assignment in Iraq, said he had gone to interview people in a cafe a few yards from an Iraqi checkpoint. Watson was accompanied by producer and translator Ali Hamdani and two drivers who refused to be named.
The group returned to their armored car, which was parked out front, but were stopped by Iraqi soldiers who said they had been informed minutes earlier that a bomb was attached to the car, Watson said.
Of course, the MSM tries to make it sound like it was the Iraqis who placed the bomb on the vehicle; however, if that were the case, why would they inform the alleged targets?
The bomb, which had been placed underneath the driver's side, exploded about 15 feet from the NPR journalists. It destroyed the car but nobody was injured, according to NPR. Iraqi and American soldiers, who cordoned off the area, said the bomb was possibly detonated by remote control. The Iraqi soldiers said they had arrested an egg vendor who had suspected family links to Al Qaeda in Iraq.
Links to "Al-CIA-Duh," huh? Well, that is a SURE GIVEAWAY!
The MO is MOSSAD!!!

In a statement, NPR expressed gratitude for the "swift actions by Iraqi authorities" in warning its employees. "Despite Sunday's attack, and the continued danger and difficulty of reporting from Iraq, even as the violence levels there fall, NPR remains committed to full and complete coverage of this important story," NPR said.
Whatever that means. "Full and complete coverage?"
--more--"
