13 killed in Iraq suicide bombing, shootout
A suicide car bomb exploded in the Iraqi town of Baquba Wednesday, killing at least five people and injuring 30 and the US army said it shot dead eight Iraqis in a firefight in Samarra. “Five people were killed and 30 were injured including 14 police officers,” said Rafed Mohammed, a surgeon at Baquba’s General Hospital’s emergency unit. Eight Iraqis were killed Tuesday in a firefight with US troops near the town of Samarra, north of Baghdad, the US military said Wednesday. “Yesterday afternoon, southwest of Samarra, soldiers from the 1-8 Infantry Battalion killed eight attackers and wounded one,” said Major Josslyn Aberle.

#2 No lead - we're using tungsten in military ammo now. But, the principle still applies ... we're just being more environmentally friendly while doing it.;-)

#3 unjust aggression leads to freedom fighters dying
the eight Iraqis were probably killed accidently or were there no Brits around for trigger happy septics to shoot

#8 Trolls are trolls. We need to feed them rope, so they'll hang themselves. Oh, wait - we don't have to, they do that themselves. Trolls - the life form below bacteria on the animal family tree.
