Ambulance blows up at wedding
2005-01-21
AN explosives-laden ambulance has blown up at a wedding near Iraq's rebel bastion of Mahmudiyah, wounding at least 42 people.

"A booby-trapped ambulance driven by a suicide bomber blew up at 7.55pm (3.55am AEDT) in a place where a wedding party was taking place," police said.

The blast took place in an area named Qasr al-Awsat, around 20km south of Baghdad.

There were no immediate reports of any dead.

#3  Maybe the ambulance was bringing the RPG fireworks and they had a work accident. Probably saved some people from the vertical return of the vertically fired RPGs in celebration.

#1  I hate it when that happens. And it's too damned common, too.
