BAGHDAD (AP)--An explosion rocked an Iraqi National Guard headquarters in a city south of the capital on Saturday, witnesses said. There were reports of casualties.Ambulances raced to the scene and police cordoned off the area in Mahmudiyah, 20 miles south of Baghdad.
Further details were not immediately available.
Keep in mind these terrorist killers are the ones AP and the rest of the media treat as legitimate "insurgents." The depravity of a left wing that would turn a liberated country of 25 million over to the worst butchers imaginable. All because they are anti-American butchers.
I am awaiting the proclamation from the new Iraqi government, wherein attacks such as these will be punnishable by the forceable removal of genetalia, which are to be, along with pig sausages, sowed into the mouths of same terrorists , after which these same terrorists will be crucified under armed guard and then disposed of into the nearest latrine.
Father, protect these, our soldiers. Hold their hands amidst the fire; guide them to safety and love. In Jesus name...
Must be a bad one. They're using "Rocks" in the title again.
Car bomb explodes at recruitment center in city south of Baghdad
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- A car bomb exploded outside an Iraqi National Guard headquarters in a city south of the capital Saturday, killing one person and wounding 22, hospital officials said.
Ambulances raced to the scene and police cordoned off the area in Mahmudiyah, 20 miles south of Baghdad.
The explosion occurred at about 7:45 a.m. while prospective recruits were waiting to get into the headquarters, said Dr. Dawoud Jassim Taie, director of the Mahmudiyah Hospital. Six of those wounded were National Guard troops while the rest were prospective recruits, he said.
National Guard troops became suspicious of a parked car near the first checkpoint and opened fire, said one officer, who declined to be named. The bomb went off at about 30 feet away from the first checkpoint.
The wounded were transported to Mahmudiyah Hospital, but were expected to be later taken to Baghdad's Yarmouk Hospital for further treatment, Taie said.
Insurgents have repeatedly targeted police and security officials in Iraq, because they are seen as being collaborators with the Americans.
Faugh! All this noise is militarily insignificant. I like the idea of sowing pig genitalia in the mouths of insurgents - that will show them who is boss.
