| Baghdad Suicide Car Bomb Kills at Least 15 | ||

| [AnNahar] A suicide car kaboom on a checkpoint in Baghdad killed at least 15 people Tuesday, the third deadly bombing to hit the Shiite neighborhood of Kadhimiyah in four days, medical sources said. Several coppers were among the dead and the blast also left at least 23 people maimed, a health ministry official and a hospital source said. On Monday, at least 43 people were killed in three attacks in Baghdad, including one on the edge of Kadhimiyah, which was claimed by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group.
Kadhimiyah was already one of two areas targeted in double bombings that left more than 40 dead on Saturday. The United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... said more than 1,110 people were killed in acts of violence across Iraq in September. According to an Agence La Belle France-Presse count, more than 350 have already been killed this month. While the bloodshed has been mainly on the frontlines where federal, Kurdish and allied forces are battling the Islamic State group , blasts and executions in Baghdad continue to take a heavy toll. While most of the major suicide kabooms in Baghdad are ascribed to IS, some of the smaller kabooms and liquidations are carried out by other more marginal Sunni groups and by Shiite militias.
Iraqi officials say a Shiite politician is among 23 people killed when a suicide boom-mobileer rammed his explosives-laden vehicle into a northern Baghdad security checkpoint. The officials say Ahmed al-Khafaji was not the target in the attack, and just happened to be driving through the Khazimiyah neighborhood of the Iraqi capital when the attack took place. The officials say the kaboom killed at least 23 people and maimed 52. | ||

| #6 unless the objective is sow panic. I'll take Terrorism for $100, Alex. It's all about theater. Actually casualties are just gravy. |

| #5 Applying nerve gas via small explosion is not what one would term an ideal dispersal method, unless the objective is sow panic. |
