Not even an article at Yahoo for anything except the Zarqawi aide "precision strike." Black-out time until after the election!


Hmmmmm, I wonder what government official was in this government vehicle. I am betting he did not survive, what a mess...

2. Remember that explosion in Baghdad that I posted in LBN yesterday?

4 US troops were killed in that explosion protecting this vehicle.



It took the US media over 24 hours to admit it.

Elsewhere in Iraq:

Mosul

Two car bombs targeting a US military convoy in the al-Faisaliya area exploded on Tuesday, Aljazeera has learned.

Diyala


A member of the former Iraqi Governing Council, Niama Hasan Salih, was assassinated on Tuesday in the Diyala governorate when unknown armed men opened fire on is car. Salih was also a member of the al-Dawa Islamic party.

Baquba

Seven Iraqi policemen and two civilians were injured when an explosive device targeted police patrols in the centre of the city. Clashes erupted early on Tuesday between US forces and armed men in the city after a joint headquarters of Iraqi police and US forces had been attacked.

4. For those of you who might be interested ...

... I recommend reading a new book by Jon Lee Anderson Ñ "The Fall of Baghdad".

What makes the book a fascinating read is that it's told with a great emphasis on the Iraqi point of view Ñ from Anderson's longtime friends and acquaintances in Iraq Ñ both before, during and after the invasion.

Many of the people quoted in the book accurately foretell what is now obvious Ñ that American's have no chance of succeeding in Iraq.

Of course, prior to the war, nobody in the administration would have been listening.
