| Somalia: blasts kill civilians at Bakara market |
| 2007-07-11 |
| (SomaliNet) Four separate bombs exploded in Mogadishu’s Bakara market killing at least two persons and wounding seven others some of them policemen. Government soldiers involving in the major security operations are target for bomb attacks carried out by the opposition groups. “As I was harrying to work place, a bomb exploded outside the Abu-Hureyra mosque inside Bakara market, it was a huge blast caused by a hand grenade bomb thrown by unknown person who sneaked through the public,” said Amino Mohamed. A number of government policemen have been injured in the first blast while three other explosions rocked the market. Medical sources say that the injured policemen were taken to Medina hospital. The government soldiers did not open fire today as they used to make when bomb explodes. Dozens of civilians have been killed and hundreds more were wounded in Mogadishu since the interim government began the search operations a week ago. |

| #2 Mogadishu is too primitive to have airliners, subways, skyscrapers or night clubs. So open air markets will have to do. If I may suggest an alternative for islamic bombers. The local mosque has the largest, most densely packed crowds. Explode yourselves over there and maximize the bodycount per explosive yield. Allah gives extra virgins for that. |

| #1 What is it with Muslims and markets? They're always blowing the places up. Did some merchant put his thumb on the scale when he sold Mohammed a pound of dates way back when, and now they have a religious vendetta going on? |
