Quick, alert the media - more bombings
Car bombs kill many in Iraq

Thirteen people were killed and 30 wounded late on Wednesday in two almost simultaneous car bombings in the central Iraqi town of Jbeila, some 100km south of Baghdad, police said.

Lieutenant Ali al-Shammari said the bombs exploded within a few minutes of each other in the vicinity of a car market in Jbeila, near the city of Hilla.

The second blast came as rescue workers were arriving at the scene. Thirteen of the wounded were in serious condition, a hospital source said.

5. The saddest part is
only Al Jazeera seems to be carrying it at all, everyone else is too busy. Think twice the next time you want to dismiss Al Jazeera.
