At least 200 people have been killed in a series of bombings apparently aimed at a Kurdish religious minority group in northern Iraq, officials say.

Some 200 more were reported injured as at least four blasts hit areas home to the Yazidi sect near the city of Mosul.

The deadly attack was one of the most lethal insurgent strikes in more than four years of war in Iraq.

BBC reported this AM. They also did not attribute it to "al-qaida" but more likely Sunni insurgents.

3. Horrible

Seeing the fluff pieces next to the images of the maimed helpless children is really too much for the mind to take in. They should not even put real news on these carnival shows in the morning.

4. Yesterday evening CNN had a report

'reducing the number of Iraqis killed from their imaginary 100 to 30.
They are shameless. The spin now is that Al Qaida is doing this because the Betrayus report is due. I can't take much more of this madness.
