ANKARA, Turkey - A car bomb exploded Tuesday outside an office used by U.S soldiers in northern Iraq, private CNN-Turk television reported. Several people were reported wounded, but it was unclear if Americans were among them.

The wounded included Iraqi Kurdish guards and children from nearby houses. Firefighters rushed to the scene.

U.S. military officials said they could not immediately confirm the report.

Authorities in Irbil, the administrative capital of Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq about 200 miles north of Baghdad, called to residents over loudspeakers to donate blood for the wounded, CNN-Turk said.

Northern Iraq has been the most stable part of the country since the ouster of Saddam Hussein.

Damn them! We are dealing with barbarians.

Isn't it interesting the way the lefty media is downplaying the unanimous acceptance of the Iraqi Governing Council by the Arab League? After ignoring them, the Arab leaague gave them a warmer embrace than the UNweenies.

Thanks for the ping, TexKat. Fox hasn't covered the car bomb in Irbil as much as they have the two homocide bombings in Jerusalem.

Yes, I've noticed that. ABC radio reported it last night, but it was the last story they mentioned. The stories were these: Bush asks for 87 billion, poll shows Americans unhappy with Bush's handling of the Iraq situation, Arab league recognizes Iraq Governing Council. I wonder if the evening news had anything on it?
