20. Most likely it was the Sunni's
They have the most to gain from a destabilized Iraq, and the most to lose from a stable one. This killing does not benefit Bush at all, he needs moderates to gain control.

In the short term this will strengthen the Islamic fundamentalists, which will prove to be a masssive headache for the occupying forces.

There were plenty of weapons, bombs and explosives distributed throughout Iraq before the war, it don't take much to pack a car and park it. All it takes is a garage door opener to detonate it.

The Vietnamese used watches to rig detonation devices, low tech but highly effective.

Who benefits for this killing? I see you left out Saudi Arabia, they certainly don't want an Iranian style government anywhere near their borders.
