Large Explosion (possible car bomb) in Baghdad

MSNBC

[saquin]

MSNBC just had a special report w/ some raw video. Large explosion in central Baghdad that could be heard for miles. Near the gates of the CPA headquarters. No word on casualties. From the raw video, I saw several civilian cars damaged.

Monsoor said they were in tanker trucks.

You're welcome! I wish the Iraqi people would start reporting these foreigners to the Iraqi police. Are the police effective?
Head down!

[abner]

I hate these jerks.

More cheering is being done in the Muslim world and more chocolates are being given out in the Muslim world after this attack. Rest assured--Allah has been pleased.

15 Iraqi's are reported to have been killed.

Fox keep[s showing lots of injured Iraqis

[nerdwithamachinegun]

Yeah, I have.

I've also reread everything I've posted on this just in case something really needs pulled. I don't think you've got anything to complain about.

[TexKat]

CNN reporting that many of the fatalities were Iraqis that were still in their cars.

lots of injured Iraqis

Maybe the healthy ones will figure out that their muslim brothers are murdering pigs.

[md2576]

I really feel for all those who have lost thier loved ones in this attack and I hope that these bombings don't ruin what little resolve the Iraqi's may have left by now.

I think mike1sg was just looking at some of the questions coming your way and did a preemptive strike.
