Another day, another car bomb near a Shiite shrine
And the people getting blown up are not important leaders or mover-n-shakers, they are just the everyday "Joe 6 Falafel" types trying to live a normal life in abnormal times.
A parked car exploded Saturday near one of Shiite Islam's holiest shrines in the Iraqi city of Karbala, killing at least 55 people and wounding dozens, officials said.But we all know that they won't count against the "Surge" because the perps used a car instead of a Black & Decker.
The explosion took place in a crowded commercial area near the Imam Hussein shrine in Karbala, 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of Baghdad, officials said.
At least 55 people were killed and 70 wounded, said Salim Kazim, the head of the Karbala health department....The explosion took place as the streets were filled with people heading for evening prayers at the Abbas shrine and the adjacent Imam Hussein shrine, two of Iraq's holiest Shiite sites.
