Decoy bomb lures Iraqi policemen into bomb trap killing 12 |
2005-04-14 |
![]() In one instance, a car bomb targeting Iraqi military vehicles collided with civilian traffic instead, wounding three pedestrians and destroying five cars, witnesses and Iraqi officials said. Almost concurrently, another car bomb hit a convoy of vehicles which appeared to belong to private contractors as it travelled down the road connecting Baghdad's international airport to the city centre, witnesses said. In the intervening time, twin blasts exploded near a convoy of two US Humvees and a fuel tanker as it made its way through an eastern Baghdad neighborhood, witnesses at the scene said. |

#2 Like I said immediately above: these were Iraqui policemen and bomb-squad who got killed, so the writer mentions them. wounding three pedestrians and destroying five cars, witnesses and Iraqi officials said. This doesn't count: the writer is reporting what witnesses and Iraqi officials said, not what he, the writer, is writing as interpretation and filler. |

#1 The twelve will get the good virgins that Allah has been holding back. The survivors are climbing a steep learning curve, and should be proud of their progress. Oh, and thank goodness that last blast didn't result in the fuel tanker going up -- what were they thinking to attack such a thing in a residential neighborhood!?! (Yes, I know that the idea of terrorism is to terrorize, but this willingness to so alienate the locals smacks of extreme hubris coupled with serious desperation.) |
