Now wouldn't you think they could find out if any were killed by gunshot vs bomb? If they really wanted to get to the bottom of senseless deaths, that is.


RABIAH, Iraq — Some survivors of a suicide bombing targeting Iraqi army recruits were shot and wounded immediately afterward when U.S. and Iraqi soldiers opened fire at the scene, police, doctors and witnesses said yesterday.

The bomber wandered into a crowd of Iraqis waiting Friday to enlist in the army and detonated his explosives, said police and witnesses to the attack in this northern town near the Syrian border. Al-Qaida in Iraq claimed responsibility in a statement posted on the Internet.

After the blast, U.S. and Iraqi troops opened fire, believing they were under attack, said Rabiah's police chief, Col. Yahya al-Sham.
