Insurgents set off at least 17 bombs in Iraq, killing at least 50 people, including three US soldiers, in a series of attacks aimed at shaking Iraq’s newly formed government.

An audio tape by one of America’s most-wanted insurgents, Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi, warned US President George Bush there was more bloodshed to come.

Yesterday’s attacks, which also wounded 114 Iraqis and seven Americans, came as political leaders are trying to curb the insurgency by including all of Iraq’s main religious and ethnic groups into an uncertain new Shiite-dominated government that takes office on Tuesday.

Many of the bombing targets were Iraqi security forces and police, whom insurgents accuse of collaborating with the Americans.

the insurgency is winding down. i think he should fly into the Baghdad airport, take a car from there into downtown Baghdad and give us a live report just to show us he is correct.
