Mosul: Worst violence since March 2006 (when Bush said it was Peachy-Peaceful)

http://www.afp.com/english/news/stories/070328174508.w6alea9l.html

The mass shooting and lethal bombings underscore the raging sectarian warfare that continues to grip the country, alongside a Sunni insurgency against the Shiite-led government and its US backers.

The massacre of men, believed to all have been Sunni Arabs, was in revenge for bomb attacks that killed 85 people and wounded 183 in Shiite districts of the mixed town on Tuesday.

The town is witnessing its worst violence since Bush in March 2006 held up the onetime militant stronghold as a model for efforts to create a stable Iraq.
