| Al-Qaeda Claims Suicide Bombing |
| 2005-12-06 |
| Baghdad, 6 Dec. (AKI) - Al-Qaeda in Iraq has claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing of a police academy in Baghdad on Tuesday in which at least 36 people - mainly police officers and cadets - were killed. "Two brothers targeted the police academy that continues to train dogs which feed off the blood and honour of Sunni Muslims," according to an Internet statement by al-Qaeda in Iraq. Initially the US military said the blasts were the work of two female suicide bombers, but subsequent reports say that the attackers were men. Some 72 people are reported injured. There is speculation that at least one of the bombers may have been a recruit enrolled at the academy. Recruitment centres for the Iraqi security services are frequently targeted by insurgents in Iraq. |

| #2 Wow, I'm really impressed. Never thought they could be so craven and cowardly. What's next, a pre-school? A hospital, oh, that's been done already, sorry. |
