Appreciated.

And that was only one of the two places hit (two of the three explosions were in this Shorja place--supposedly once Baghdad's main marketplace) Is there any more news about the second place, Bab alsharqi?

Are they ever going to learn not to let vehicles in the market places?

Will there be any international outrage over this deliberate killing of civilians by the insurgents? No, because there is NEVER any outrage over anything the insurgents do. All of the outrage is reserved for Bush.
