A suicide car bomb exploded near a gathering of laborers in Kadhimiya, a Shiite area of north-central Baghdad. Hospital officials told police that at least 73 people were killed and another 162 wounded.

 

In the northern Baghdad neighborhood of Taji, men wearing Iraqi army uniforms pulled 17 men from their homes and shot them execution-style, police said.

 

The men were killed around 4 a.m. Taji is a mixed Sunni-Shiite area of the Iraqi capital.

Do you think this stuff will ever start in the US? Not the suicide bombings, but the kidnappings and such. I suspect that if that happens, then the profiling will kick in full force and anybody of possible descent will suddenly become suspect and the refugee camps set-up during WWII for the Japanese would surface again, but for people of Middle Eastern descent, just to save all of them.

Well, there is a decent portion of the right wing that is already calling for exactly that. (Michelle Malkin). The only question is whether or not the remaining Supreme Court justices would allow it.

By the way...it's now sounding even worse out there...a full dozen nearly-simulatenous explosions...and I think we all know by now who's calling card the simultaneous blast is.

 

More than a dozen explosions ripped through the Iraqi capital in rapid succession Wednesday, killing at least 152 people and wounding 542 in a series of attacks that began with a suicide car bombing that targeted laborers assembled to find work for the day. Al-Qaida in Iraq claimed responsibility.

 

The one-day death toll was believed to be the worst in the capital since major combat ended in May 2003, and Al-Jazeera said Al-Qaida in Iraq linked the attacks to the recent killing of about 200 militants from the city of Tal Afar by U.S. and Iraqi forces.

 

Before dawn Wednesday, 17 men were killed by insurgents in the village of Taji north of Baghdad, which pushed the death toll in all violence in and around the capital to 169.

 

Wednesday's deadliest bombing killed at least 112 people and wounded more than 200 in the heavily Shiite neighborhood of Kazimiyah where the day laborers had gathered shortly after dawn.

 

The carnage was the worst single day of bloodshed since March 2, 2004, when coordinated blasts from suicide bombers, mortars and planted explosives hit Shiite Muslim shrines in Karbala and in Baghdad, killing at least 181 and wounding 573.
