Killings continue in Iraq

[KKKarl is an idiot]

All the time spent looking at the situation in Israel has taken our eyes of Iraq. I found this article kind of buried under everything else about Israel-Hezbollah on the CNN website.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- At least 45 people were killed and 60 others wounded Tuesday morning when a suicide car bomber detonated in a busy Kufa marketplace where day laborers gather, Iraqi police said.

Kufa is considered a holy place by Shia Muslims and is just outside Najaf, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) south of Baghdad.

An in the northern city of Kirkuk, a roadside bomb killed six policemen, Kirkuk police said. Another police officer was wounded in the incident, which occurred at 11:30 a.m. in Hawija.

Iraq is being forgotten but that insanity continues.
