There was some confusion yesterday, over the first bombing that Reuters quoted “Iraqi military officials” as saying had killed 175, but then someone said it was really only 30 or so. Is this report from that same source used by Reuters? Apparently, another news agency had picked up the Reuters story yesterday and was reporting that 175 number. There was some speculation that al Queda was putting out a press report, in the name of an “Iraqi military official”, and that it had inflated the number of dead by including the wounded.

Another article this morning from AFP backs up the stats on the high death toll.
