(CBS News) BAGHDAD In Iraq today, a series of devastating attacks hit the northern city of Kirkuk. A suicide truck bombing and two other car bombs killed at least 80 people and wounded more than 180 others. The carnage from the worst of the bombs was horrendous, even by Iraqi standards. Passengers trapped inside a bus burned to death.

More than 4,000 Iraqi civilians have died in suicide attacks in the past six months, and Saudi Arabia bears much of the blame, according to Iraqi National Security Adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie, CBS News correspondent Allen Pizzey reports.

"We believe most of the foreign terrorists who are blowing themselves up in this country, killing Iraqi citizens, are coming from Saudi Arabia," al-Rubaie said.

The Iraqis and the U.S. military here claim 60 to 80 terrorist recruits a month enter Iraq, half of them from Saudi Arabia. They travel to the Syrian capital of Damascus, then cross the long and porous border into Iraq.

2. I can't understand why anyone is surprised about this.

About a half a year ago, Cheney was summoned to SA to discuss the fact that the minority Sunni population in Iraq needed protection. Cheney gave them his classic "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah."

Clearly, the Saudis are unhappy with his response, and subsequently, our work in that regard, and are taking matters into their own hands. What we are doing is getting in their way.

There's a Holy War going on between two major sects of Islam. We're the only fools who don't see this.

3. And so the Senate censured IRAN!
