"Car bombs in Iraq kill 25, target police" by Uthman al-Mokhtar, Washington Post | October 12, 2009
RAMADI, Iraq - Three car bombings targeted a police station and a government headquarters in the provincial capital of Ramadi in western Iraq yesterday, killing at least 25 people and underlining the precarious situation in Anbar province.
And CUI BONO?
That sure is tortured logic on the part of the "waning insurgency."
Why not WAIT UNTIL WE LEAVE?
Violence in the province had fallen sharply in the last year after local tribal leaders backed by US forces defeated a homegrown Al Qaeda group and other militants. But in recent weeks, a series of explosions and suicide attacks were reminiscent of 2003 and 2004, when the insurgency was gathering strength.
Although the blasts did not appear to be set off by suicide bombers, they were timed to detonate in quick succession to kill as many rescuers and police officers as possible.
And WHOSE CALLING CARD is that, huh?
“The security forces are negligent,’’ said Raad Sabah, a leader of the US-backed militia that fought the insurgency in Ramadi. “They are busy with politics and the elections and their own business deals.’’
Rumors spread through Ramadi and other parts of the province about who was behind the attacks. Some suggested government officials were involved, part of the fallout from months of negotiations over creating alliances for Iraq’s parliamentary elections in January.
Yeah, because ULTIMATELY, when you trace it all the way back, "terrorism" is GOVERNMENT CREATED, FUNDED and DIRECTED!!!!!
Others said that Al Qaeda was exploiting the rift between politicians ahead of the polls and blamed security forces for negligence. At least six senior security officials are running in the upcoming elections....
Oh, I'M SURE "Al-CIA-Duh" had something to do with it?
“It was an organized attack,’’ said Bassel Mohammad, a taxi driver who was 30 yards from the bombing site and whose brother was among the victims. “The city is falling apart, people are dying, Al Qaeda is regaining strength, and our leaders are busy with politics and the elections.’’
Iraqi police officers, unable to control the bombing scene, fired shots in the air in an attempt to disperse people who had gathered to look for their loved ones.
Yeah, your AmeriKan-trained IRAQ GOVERNMENT serving the people again!
Brigadier General Khamis Dulaimi, head of the emergency unit in the province, called the attacks a security breach and said an investigation would be held to determine how they were carried out and why the cars were not searched at checkpoints.
Oh, this ABSOLUTELY REEKS of an INSIDE JOB!!!
A curfew was imposed on Ramadi, and security forces declared an emergency.
Gee, CUI BONO?
Schools and universities sent students home soon after news of the bombings spread. Mosques broadcast appeals over their loudspeakers for people to donate blood.
Yeah, what about all those victims, anyway?
--more--"
"assassinations, bombings, and killings remain a daily part of the landscape"
"Anbar’s test also occurs at a time when insurgents appear to be regrouping. Almost no day goes by without an attack or a bombing in Fallujah, the province’s other main city."
Yeah, and if Iraq was any other nation on earth it would "amount to a crisis in most other countries."
And how many days go by when we see next to nothing in the AmeriKan newspaper.... UNTIL some AGENDA needs to be PROMOTED AGAIN??
