The new normal in Baghdad
The Iraqi people are seeking a new level for their post Bush War society and they are using the tools they learned under the occupation.
Fifteen explosions, including one that appeared aimed at a United States military convoy, shook Baghdad over the span of four hours on Sunday morning, killing 18 and wounding 77, according to an Iraqi security official.Now is the time to get ALL US troops out of Iraq. For those left behind it will probably be worse that missing the Rapture. And their troubles will serve no good purpose.
The most deadly attack occurred at about 9 a.m. in north Baghdad when a suicide bomber detonated explosives near police officers who had responded to the scene of an explosion near the American convoy, the security official said.
Twelve people, including eight police officers, died in the attack and 23 were wounded, including eight police officers, the official said.
A spokesman for the United States military in Iraq said he had not received any reports that an American convoy had been attacked.
The violence appeared to be part of a pattern in Baghdad on Sundays, the day that marks the beginning of the workweek.
