You're right, jonsie. Any life lost in building a stable Iraq is a sad day.
My mention of barricades is just what I think I remember.
Greg Palkot, Fox, saying all dead are Iraqis. At least 7 killed. Pedestrians and motorists involved. Iraqis were standing waiting to go into zone and get jobs. June 17 was last car bomb at Iraqi recruitment center.
Palkot said they (Fox reporters) are getting out to talk to people. The people like what Alawi government is saying....tough talk. Like what they're seeing....greater Iraqi security presence. Very hard to protect against individual attacks such as just occurred.
Palkot says have to be careful and with security in moving about Baghdad. Remarked last night on how quiet it had been. Blast was quarter of mile from the new government offices.
