TA-ATTACKS: At Least 50 Killed in Iraq Suicide Bombing

A suicide bomber blew himself up in an Iraqi police recruitment center in the Kurdish city of Irbil today, killing at least 50 people. The death toll could rise much higher as rescue and recovery operations continue. The attack followed the swearing in of the new Iraqi government that took place yesterday.



It is truly horrible when people who want to help their country by joining the police are killed so brutally by these terrorists. I hope this is more a sign of desperation in the face of a new freely-elected government rather than new strength within the insurgency.

geez man, you'd think by now they'd be running low on suicide bombers, i mean there are much better ways, rc cars... a trained animal... man


Here Apoo, you put the bomb on. Wha? I'm uh, not pure enough I insit you wear it instead!

oh no no no, tis the will of Allah, thank you very much!

There is no shortage of potential suicide bombers.

New recruits are streaming into Iraq from all parts of the Muslim world, which numbers over a Billion. We will not see the end of this anytime soon.

Im afraid this will continue to carry on for as long as the occupying forces are there. Although that may mean the loss of Iraq to a brutal Islamic regime, I'd suggest thats better than loosing a 1000 US soldiers a year just to prevent that from happening, let alone how much its costing the US in financial terms.

And a shame, too. Suicide bombing is a mess.

Not to mention mentally...well...devastating.
