Quote:"Most of the victims appeared to be poor Iraqis hoping to join the security forces because job opportunities here are limited."
Korban orang Iraq yang SENGAJA DIBUNUH sudah banyak ............. sekali. Pembunuh2 seperti inikah yang di-bela? Kasihan sekali orang Irak yang ingin bekerja utk sesuap nasi. Begitupun dengan sabotase2 ekonomi ....... seperti pemboman pipa minyak baru2 ini yang merugikan pemerintah Iraq puluhan juta dollar sehari. Teroris itu, seperti biasa, tahunya hanya merusak dan membunuh. amartien --- On Thu 06/17, peace < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: From: peace [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2004 15:30:07 -0000 Subject: [ppiindia] Two Car Bombs Kill 41 Iraqis, Wound 138 Two Car Bombs Kill 41 Iraqis, Wound 138 <br><br>BAGHDAD, Iraq - A sport utility vehicle packed with artillery shells <br>blew up Thursday in a crowd of people waiting to volunteer for the <br>Iraqi military, killing at least 35 people and wounding 138. Another <br>car bomb north of the capital killed six members of the Iraqi <br>security forces. <br><br>The explosion in Baghdad, the deadliest attack since a bombing <br>outside another recruiting center in February, was part of a surge of <br>violence on U.S. coalition forces and their Iraqi allies ahead of the <br>transfer of sovereignty to Iraqis on June 30. <br><br>The blast scattered bodies and debris across a four-lane highway <br>outside Baghdad's Muthanna airport, which is used as a base by both <br>the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps and the U.S. military. The explosion <br>could be heard for several miles and sent a cloud of smoke over the <br>city. <br><br>Iraq (news - web sites)'s interior minister said he believed an al-<br>Qaida-linked militant, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, was connected to the <br>bombing. <br><br>No American or Iraqi troops were wounded, U.S. Army Col. Mike Murray <br>said. Most of the victims appeared to be poor Iraqis hoping to join <br>the security forces because job opportunities here are limited. <br><br>"This clearly again was an attack that has hurt the Iraqi people," <br>Murray said. <br><br>Another car bomb exploded Thursday afternoon in a village near Balad, <br>50 miles north of Baghdad, killing six ICDC members and injuring four <br>others, the U.S. 1st Infantry Division said. The ICDC is the main <br>internal security force, created by U.S. administrators to battle <br>insurgents. <br><br>The bombing came a day after a rocket slammed into a U.S. logistics <br>base near Balad, killing three U.S. soldiers and wounding 25 other <br>people, including two civilian workers. <br><br>A top U.S. military official said Thursday's bombing in Baghdad <br>appeared to fit a new pattern from al-Zarqawi's terror network in <br>Iraq: simpler, more frequent car bombings to shake confidence in <br>Iraqi security forces ahead of the handover. <br><br>Asked by reporters if he saw al-Zarqawi's hand in the attack, interim <br>Interior Minister Falah Hassan al-Naqib said "I think there is some <br>links." <br><br>"We are quite sure and confident they are not Iraqis," al-Naqib <br>said. "And we have very good indications that they came from abroad." <br><br>Al-Naqib said that one of al-Zarqawi's aides had been arrested, <br>though he didn't say, who, where or when. <br><br>Many of the Baghdad victims had just gotten off a bus at about 9 <br>a.m., Murray said. About 100 volunteers were trying to enter the <br>recruiting center when the white sport utility vehicle crashed into <br>the crowd, ICDC Capt. Hani Hussein said. <br><br>Another 175 Iraqis already accepted into the security force were <br>inside the gate of the facility, but none of them was injured. <br><br>"We were standing waiting for our turn to register," Rafid Mudhar <br>told The Associated Press from his hospital bed. "All of a sudden, we <br>heard big explosion and most of those standing fell on the ground <br>including me." <br><br>He said he was unconscious for a while, then managed to reach a <br>nearby ambulance. <br><br>Bloody bodies covered in dust were scattered around the blast site. <br>One dead man lay prostrate in the center of a highway median. <br><br>An artillery shell could be seen lying on the road. Insurgents in <br>Iraq often fashion bombs out of artillery shells and other military <br>ordnance. <br><br>At least 35 people died and 138 were injured and the toll was likely <br>to increase, health ministry official Saad al-Amili said. <br><br>The bombing was the bloodiest single attack since a car bomb killed <br>47 people on Feb. 11, also outside an army recruiting center in <br>Baghdad. <br><br>Surrounded by Western security guards and Iraqi police, interim Prime <br>Minister Iyad Allawi visited the scene of Thursday's blast and <br>described it as a "cowardly attack." <br><br>"We are _______________________________________________ No banners.
