oh no, another bombing in Baghdad

Getting ready to go to bed and just heard it on the news. Three car bombs went off simultaneously outside the Red Cross Center- will this insanity NEVER end?!!

I heard on the news that one of the car bombs was actually an ambulance packed with explosives. That is just sick.

It's not going to end until they get Saddam. At least that's what hubby and all the Iraqi's I know think....

It's terrible. I've had to quit listening to the news so much. I'd get so depressed and involved. It's especially hard when there are family and friends are over there. (I have Iraqi family/friends and American family over there.)

It sickens me and it's so upsetting!

Tammie- I will say a prayer for all your family & friends!

This is absolutely disgusting!

I'm a British Iraqi, and it absolutely maddens me that that Al-Qaeda has decided to take their madness to Iraq.
The Iraqi people, including my family there, really have had enough, the last thing they needed were these crazed suicide bombers.

It makes me soooo angry!

I hear ya. The leaders of Al Qaeda could give a sh&% about the Iraqi people. In fact they hate the majority of Iraqi's. They are using Iraq for their own agenda and probably (In my opinion) Saddam is helping to support them.

I heard one guy whose bomb didn't go off, was from Syria, at least he had a Syrian passport. So that is bad news, shows that
people are coming from other places to sabatogue the Americans over there.

It seems it isn't only Americans they're after, these people are going there to kill- and that means anyone, all to try and make a stupid point
I swear that country, it seems to attract all the lunatics in the world.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Unknown gunmen assassinated a deputy mayor of Baghdad in an apparent hit-run shooting, the U.S. occupation authority reported Tuesday.

Faris Abdul Razzaq al-Assam, deputy mayor for technical services, had returned from last week's international Iraq (news - web sites) donors' conference in Madrid, Spain, when he was shot Sunday, the Coalition Provisional Authority said.


Tom Basile, a CPA spokesman, said he had no details on the killing, other than that it occurred in Baghdad, and "we believe he was shot in a hit-and-run incident."


Basile said an official report on the assassination was delayed because the authority believed Baghdad city hall would issue the announcement Monday but it did not.


Al-Assam, one of three deputy mayors, had been a director-general in the infrastructure area in the previous municipal government, under the Baathist Party regime, and joined the new, postwar municipal leadership four months ago, the authority said.


"Faris was absolutely committed to the welfare of the citizens of Baghdad and the future of the city," Hank Bassford, the CPA's regional coordinator for Baghdad, said in a statement.


Basile said he had no information that any suspects had been apprehended in the killing.


Anti-U.S. resistance forces have assassinated or attempted to assassinate several political or police figures holding posts under the occupation. The most prominent was Aquila al-Hashimi, a member of Iraq's interim Governing Council, who was fatally wounded by gunmen on Sept. 20.

I pray for peace to come to this troubled land!
