Car Bombs Kill More Than 50 In Iraq


now maybe i'm being picky, but shouldn't the headline read 75 killed......is the story only the 50 killed in car bombs: shootings and clashes don't count?????????????

and i love how the last line reinforces the petreaus bullshit/

~snip~
In one of the deadliest strikes in months, one car bomb killed 40 people and wounded 80 outside a provincial government headquarters in Baquba, local capital of Diyala province north of Baghdad, police said.

Police said the blast killed people on a busy street and in their cars as they were passing the location. Women and children were among the victims.

In all more than 75 people were killed across the country in car bombs, shootings and clashes, a deadly day which underscores comments last week from the top U.S. officials in Iraq that overall gains in security are fragile and reversible.
