| Car bomb explodes outside Baghdad hospital, many victims |
| 2004-11-09 |
| A car bomb exploded outside the emergency unit of one of Baghdad's main hospitals in the southwest of the Iraqi capital causing an unknown number of victims, an official at the Yarmuk hospital said. "A car bomb exploded at the gate of the emergency department, there were a lot of people wounded and dead," the official told AFP. Patients, staff and guards were among the victims, said the official, who declined to give his name. Just hours early, Yarmuk hospital received three dead and 45 wounded after suspected car bombs exploded just minutes apart outside two churches in Baghdad. I'm wondering how much press this piece of barabrity will get. |

| #2 They target their own when they can't target Americans. They know our domestic political opposition (in other words, the press) will blame our military for allowing the bombing, not the bad guys for doing the bombing, so it is a win-win for the bad guys. And attacking hospitals are a communist trick dating back to WWII, when volunteer Kosomol units would ski to rear areas and attck soft targets like German field hospitals. It has a strong negative impact of morale when aid stations/hospitals get hit. The Viet Cong during Viet Nam routinely attacked medical aid stations. |
