"Iraq bombings kill 8 in capital, northern village" by Sameer N. Yacoub, Associated Press Writer | July 11, 2009
BAGHDAD --A car bomb exploded in an alley Saturday in a village in northern Iraq, killing at least four people, wounding others and destroying eight homes, police said. Another four people died in a bombing in Baghdad.
Thirty-eight people were wounded and several shops and cars were also damaged in the 3 p.m. explosion in the northern village of Kugjeli, according to a police officer in Ninevah Province, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to journalists.
Most of the victims were inside their homes when the bomb exploded near the main street of the predominantly Shiite village, about five kilometers (three miles) east of the city of Mosul.
STINK!!!!!!
Please see Tortured Logic and related links for who is REALLY RESPONSIBLE for VIOLENCE in IRAQ!
In the Baghdad attack, a bomb was placed at the gate of a billiards hall in the central district of Karrada. Four civilians died and 15 were injured, all of them youths in the hall, a police officer and a hospital medic said. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. A bomb in the same area wounded four police on patrol.
Violence remains at low levels in Iraq compared with previous years, but bombings continue to kill scores of people. The attacks have raised concerns as the U.S. military draws down troop numbers....
That is your NEW MSM LIE, 'er, NARRATIVE, folks!
Yup, AmeriKan jewsmedia LIED ABOUT IRAQ FOREVER and they NEVER STOPPED!
Separately, the U.S. military said an American soldier in Iraq shot and killed a truck driver, an Iraqi citizen, who did not respond to warnings to stop on a highway north of Baghdad.
Yeah, BURY the UNDER-REPORTED CHECKPOINT SHOOTING, you slimy sacks of s***!!!!
I am SO TIRED of the JEWISH JOURNALISTIC "style," folks! THEY SUCK!!!!!!!!!
The shooting happened at around 2:15 a.m. on Friday when the truck approached a U.S. logistics convoy that had stopped because one of its vehicles had broken down, the military said. Soldiers flashed vehicle lights and shouted for the truck to stop, but it continued to accelerate, according to the military. A soldier thought the convoy was under attack and fired on the truck, the military said. A teenage passenger in the vehicle, identified by Iraqi officials as a brother of the driver, was not harmed.
Maj. Derrick Cheng, a U.S. military spokesman, described the killing as "tragic" and said the soldier acted in line with terms of a joint U.S.-Iraqi security deal. The soldier was unlikely to face any Iraqi prosecution because the security agreement allows for U.S. jurisdiction over American soldiers in cases when they are on duty and outside their bases....
Yup, MURDER and he GETS AWAY WITH IT!
An Iraqi police officer and a medic said the truck driver was taken to a hospital in Dujail, where he died of his wounds. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. Such incidents were common in the early years of the war in Iraq, deepening hostility toward U.S. forces.
Then WHY DIDN'T YOU REPORT THEM THEN, s** media?
Readers, this is SUCH CRAP passing itself off as "news!"
Diminishing violence and a more culturally sensitive approach by U.S. forces since 2007 have helped appease large segments of the population and isolated militants.
Pffffftttt! Yeah, and the MSM IGNORING SUCH THINGS has SURELY HELPED!
The U.S. military also reported the death of a civilian Iraqi motorist in a head-on collision Thursday night with a U.S. Army Stryker vehicle, the lead vehicle of a U.S.-Iraqi convoy in western Diyala province.
Oh, so we also RAN OVER SOMEONE?
Yeah, thanks for sticking this WAY in the BACK, you SHIT-BAG MSM!!!!
Good Lord!!!!!
The convoy slowed to let the car pass and the Stryker driver signaled with the horn and headlights, but the car did not alter speed or bearing, the military said. At least one soldier in the Stryker was injured.
So HE PLOWED into US? What, and NO BOMB?
That HAS TO BE a LIE!!!!!!!
Sorry, readers, but the f***ing damn AmeriKan MSM is MAKING ME SICK and I NEED TO STOP NOW!!!!!
So HOW did the 11-YEAR-OLD CHILD that the WOMEN are WAILING about die, SHIT MSM?
Yeah, somehow THAT didn't make PRINT, huh?
PFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTT!!!!
Meanwhile, my LOCAL adds THIS:
"US soldier in Iraq sentenced in comrade's shooting
BAGHDAD (AP) — The U.S. military in Iraq has sentenced a soldier to three years in jail in the shooting death of another soldier.
The military says Sgt. Miguel A. Vegaquinones had pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the accidental shooting death of Pfc. Sean McCune. According to the military, Vegaquinones negligently discharged one round on Jan. 11 in Samarra after guard duty.
Yeah, the Globe wouldn't want you to know about the FRAGGING in IRAQ!
That might be BAD for MORALE!!
Vegaquinones' sentence was cut by six months in a pre-trial agreement, his rank was reduced to private and he was dishonorably discharged. He was sentenced Saturday. A military appeals court will review the case.
So OUR SOLDIERS NEVER SERVE JAIL TIME -- even when they MURDER THEIR OWN! It's called AmeriKan accountability!
Vegaquinones and McCune were assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 35th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, in Schofield Barracks, Hawaii.
