Insurgents detonated three car bombs near a U.S. military convoy in Baghdad Thursday, killing 41 people, most of them children rushing to collect sweets from American troops.
In two other attacks, a suicide bomber blew up his vehicle near a U.S. checkpoint outside the capital, killing two policemen and a U.S. soldier, and a car bomb killed four people in the restive northern Iraq town of Tal Afar.
A statement apparently from the Tawhid and Jihad group of al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi said later it was behind the three attacks. Zarqawi's group has claimed responsibility for many of Iraq's bloodiest suicide bombings and the killings of foreigners taken hostage.

1. I have noticed

that the new threads that generate the fewest replies always involve dead or maimed Iraqis and/or Afghans or whoever we happen to be blowing up at the present moment.

Just a passing observation. An absence of a thing can be very telling.

2. You can be sure that dead children will be ignored by Bush

We only want good news from Iraq....remember the damn media is at fault for telling us just the bad news....there is lots of good news being ignored!
