| Two Killed by Grenade Blast in Iraqi Cinema |
| 2003-09-24 |
| A hand grenade blast ripped through a cinema in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Wednesday, killing two people and wounding 20, police said. Police said a witness had told them the movie theater was showing a pornographic film when the grenade exploded. Islamic militants have attacked some cinemas in postwar Iraq for showing movies they regard as immoral. You knew this was going to happen. "A grenade exploded inside the cinema. Twenty people were injured, two were killed," said Mohammed Sadiq, an officer at the police station nearest the cinema told Reuters by telephone. Shopkeepers in the same street as the cinema said they saw about 20 people carried out of the building, some with very serious wounds. The blast smashed windows in the cinema but appeared to have caused little structural damage. They weren’t going after the building, they were going after the people watching the movie. It’ll be interesting to see what the reaction is to these direct attacks on Iraqis by the turban set. |

| #1 The problems is that the fundies get with it when they attack cinemas, music vendors and so on. It would be time that the Iraquis, Afghans and al started to hang a dozen mullahs, whipping people wearing beards or burn a couple madrassas each time there is a bomb in a cinema or other fundie activity. |
