| [An Nahar] A series of Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... boom-mobileings mostly targeting Shiite neighborhoods were the deadliest in a spate of attacks that killed 34 people in Iraq Tuesday, security and medical officials said. The attacks were the latest in a surge of unrest that has left more than 4,200 people dead this year, the highest toll since 2008 when Iraq was emerging from a brutal sectarian war. At least seven boom-mobiles went off across Storied Baghdad from around 5:00 pm (1400 GMT), when Iraqis are typically shopping or visiting cafes, killing 26 people, security and medical officials said. The deadliest of the bombings hit the eastern neighborhood of Zafraniyah, where at least six people were killed. Earlier in the day, a provincial official was rubbed out in the capital's northeast. No group immediately grabbed credit for the attacks, but Sunni forces of Evil linked to al-Qaeda often use coordinated boom-mobileings in a bid to target Iraq's Shiite majority, whose adherents they regard as apostates. "The continuing boom-mobile wave phenomenon is increasing in volume," Jessica Lewis, an analyst at the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War, told Agence La Belle France Presse. "Casualty levels seem to be getting bigger," she said, adding that targeting civilians helped the bad boy group gain publicity. Violence in northern Iraq killed another seven people, all of them members of the security forces. Near the main northern city of djinn-infested Mosul, gunnies ambushed a vehicle carrying unarmed coppers and raked it with machinegun fire, officials said. Six coppers were killed in the attack and two seriously maimed. A separate attack west of djinn-infested Mosul, a primarily Sunni Arab city that remains one of Iraq's least stable, left a soldier dead. In Fallujah, ... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperityor a really nice place to raise your kids... a former myrmidon bastion west of the capital, forces of Evil wearing boom belts attacked a cop shoppe and shot it out with security forces. Three of the bombers were killed when their explosives blew up while a fourth bad boy was shot by police, officials said, adding that 12 coppers were maimed, including two officers. The latest violence took the corpse count for September to more than 400, the sixth consecutive month to top that figure, according to an AFP tally. Authorities insist a campaign targeting forces of Evil is yielding results with hundreds of suspects captured and dozens more killed. They say security forces have also dismantled a number of myrmidon training camps and bomb-making sites. |

| #2 Nope. The mooselimbs deserve to be left to themselves without some maniac (who is, himself, in the mass slaughter hall of fame) keeping the lid on sectarian idiocy. |
