2 Suicide Bombers Kill 93 in Iraq
By LAUREN FRAYER, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Two suicide bombers blew themselves up Tuesday in a crowd of Shiite pilgrims streaming toward the holy city of Karbala, killing 93 people in one of several attacks targeting the faithful ahead of a weekend holiday.

The attack came a day after U.S. forces suffered their deadliest day in nearly a month _ nine American soldiers were killed in explosions north of Baghdad, the military said Tuesday.

The coordinated attack Tuesday happened on a main street in Hillah, about 60 miles south of Baghdad, said Capt. Muthana Khalid. He said 93 people were killed and more than 164 wounded.

Two men wearing explosives belts mingled among pilgrims lining up to be searched at a checkpoint before a bridge, then blew themselves up, said Brig. Gen. Othman al-Ghanemi, the regional police commander.

4. Bush's Iraq War is a terrible religion

in the face of all evidence proponents will always ignore all evils and failures and continue to intone the mantras; Support the Troops, The Surge is Working, The Insurgency is in its Last Throes, Al Qaeda is on the Run...
