Reuters - DEATH TOLL FROM BAGHDAD SHORJA MARKET BOMBING RISES TO 59 - POLICE
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?
Scratch the question in comment 6--your link in comment 5 answers it.
Are they ever going to learn not to let vehicles in the market places?
"DEATH TOLL FROM BAGHDAD SHORJA MARKET BOMBING RISES TO 59 - POLICE"
- Famous police spokesman Mr. Hussein, who speaks only to the AP, has now raised the death toll to 156.
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.
Dreadful. Prayers for the victims.
