walked up to a checkpoint in the Rashid neighborhood of Baghdad carrying a black Samsonite briefcase and blew himself up. Four people were killed,
including a farmer driving to market in a pickup truck full of eggplants.
"The bomb was packed with ball bearings and meant to kill a lot of people," said Col. Steve Lanza of the Army. "This could have been a lot
worse."
