"Twin bomb attacks kill 41 in Baghdad; Sunni rebels suspected of stoking unrest" by Kim Gamel, Associated Press | April 30, 2009
BAGHDAD - Twin car bombs ravaged a popular shopping area in Baghdad's biggest Shi'ite district yesterday, killing at least 41 people in another powerful strike by suspected Sunni insurgents seeking a return to sectarian chaos.
Oh, STINK!!!!! Just when we were getting ready to leave!
In less than a week, blasts have struck the heart of Shi'ite traditions and unity: hitting Shi'ite pilgrims, a revered shrine, and now teeming Sadr City in attacks that have claimed nearly 200 lives. Anger was seething in the Sadr City slums.
Scowling young men - joined by women shrouded in black - gathered around the bloodstained pavement and the twisted hulks of the cars, which had been parked about 100 yards apart near a restaurant and an ice cream stand.
The more you read, the stronger the stench of another FALSE-FLAG!!!
Ever notice how the violence ebbs and flows according to the wishes of the agenda-pushers? When they wanted a surge, violence was up; when they wanted to claim the surge worked, violence went down; now that we are leaving, WTF?
Can't you see through this yet, 'murka?
Protesters later threw stones and empty soda cans at a vehicle carrying Iraqi soldiers, who they claim failed to protect them despite a security cordon around the district. Soldiers shot into the air to disperse the crowd.
Well, Maliki's government isn't exactly a Sadr fan, is it?
It was the deadliest bombing inside sprawling Sadr City since US-backed Iraqi forces seized control of the area in May. The offensive broke the hold of the feared Mahdi Army....
"Sadr City should be secure. We are a poor people and we want to live safely," complained laborer Mohammed Abbas, 47. "How could these bombers have entered Sadr City?"
I have a few ideas.
The explosions went off in quick succession, tearing through a crowded outdoor market where vendors peddle everything from bicycles and motorcycle parts to small pets.... Officers said they found another explosives-laden car parked nearby in Sadr City and detonated it. Six other potential car bombs also were found elsewhere in the capital, including three more in Sadr City, according to the Iraqi military.
Another parked car bomb apparently targeting an Iraqi Army patrol exploded hours later in the northern Shi'ite stronghold of Hurriyah, killing two people and wounding eight, police said.
The increase in high-profile attacks in recent weeks has brought questions about the ability of Iraq's forces to hold security gains. The US military has begun pulling back from small outposts in the cities as a step toward full withdrawal from urban areas by the end of June and from the entire country by the end of 2011.
And CUI BONO, because now the word is that we ain't even pulling back from the cities!
In all, at least 432 people, including 80 Iranian pilgrims, have been killed in violence so far this month, compared with 335 people in March, 283 in February, and 242 in January.
Oh, VIOLENCE INCREASING the LAST FOUR MONTHS, huh?
You would be hard-pressed to find that in any MSM reports during that time.
