American troops find 5 more bodies at Mosul slaughter
I chose the second headline. I hope that is okay!

The first headline...

Car bomb on Baghdad airport road kills woman, 2 children

Baghdad -- A car bomb exploded Wednesday on the road to the Baghdad airport, killing three people, and the U.S. military said it had found five more bodies in the northern city of Mosul.

The grisly discovery in Iraq's third-largest city brought the number of corpses found there in the past week to 20. Of the 20, at least 10 were Iraqi soldiers, nine of them killed execution-style. Four others were decapitated and have not been identified.

In Baghdad, the bomb was packed in a red Volkswagen. It exploded in the Yarmouk neighborhood on an overpass behind a convoy of sport utility vehicles, the kind that often carry diplomats, U.S. officials or contractors. The convoy was apparently unscathed, but the blast hurled a car off the bridge, killing a woman and two children inside, said Ahmed Gatia, an Iraqi police officer at the scene.

"As the election gets closer, the situation will get worse," said Osama Hussein, 25, a jeweler in the Shiite Muslim neighborhood of Kadhimiya, a relatively tranquil oasis of Baghdad where crowds still walk the streets past sunset. "God willing, things will get better after the election. Right now, we only feel safe here."
