A bomb killed 11 people travelling in a bus near the Iraqi town of Baquba on Monday, police sources said.

It was not immediately clear whether it was a roadside bomb or a bomb planted on the bus, they said. Baquaba is 65 km (40 miles) north of Baghdad.

1. And the comment by bushco

will be similiar to the warden's statement in "The Green Mile" when an inmate was in the electric chair and then burst into flames: " It's alright folks. It's all under control".

Roadside Bomb Blasts Kill 17 in Iraq

Roadside bomb blasts kill 10 people north of Baghdad and 7 others in the capital

BAGHDAD, Iraq, May. 29, 2006
By BUSHRA JUHI Associated Press Writer

(AP) A roadside bomb ripped through a bus north of Baghdad on Monday,
killing 10 people working for an organization opposed to the Iranian regime.
In the capital, another bomb planted in a parked minivan killed at least
seven and wounded 20 when it exploded at the entrance to an open-air market.

The blast north of Baghdad occurred just after daybreak near Khalis
in Diyala province, an area notorious for such attacks, provincial police said.
All the dead were Iraqi workers of the Mujahedeen Khalk, a group of Iranian exiles,
the organization said. Twelve people were wounded.

The blast pushed in the side of the white public bus and peppered its blackened side
with shrapnel holes. The bus, later inspected by U.S. Army troops, was streaked
in blood, Associated Press TV footage showed.
