And in Iraq, which we set free to be all they can be


From the New York Times:
At least 32 people were killed in Iraqi towns and cities on Tuesday, security sources said, the latest flare of violence in a country where sectarian attacks have become a frequent occurrence.

Two suicide bombers detonated explosive belts, one after the other, targeting Shiite Turkmen who had cut off the road between Kirkuk and Baghdad to protest the deteriorating security situation in the district of Tuz Khurmatu, in the east of Salahuddin province.

At least 16 civilians were killed and 53 were wounded, the sources said. The deputy governor of the province and the vice president of the Turkmen Front party were among those killed, they said...

In Mosul, in the north, a suicide bomber wearing an explosive belt blew himself up inside a popular cafe, killing 10 people and wounding 18.

In Babel province, south of Baghdad, a bomb targeted a bus carrying Shiite pilgrims heading to Karbala. Six of the pilgrims were killed, and 13 were wounded.

In Baghdad, gunmen opened fire on a church in the eastern part of the city, wounding three policemen guarding it.

The day’s violence followed a dozen bombings in and around Baghdad and north of the city on Monday, in which at least 41 people were killed and 125 wounded.
Just another day wallowing in their freedom.
