String of bombings kills at least 18 in Iraq
And thousands of terrorists released, at Iraqi gov urging, from US military custody. Cause meets effect. Full effect yet to be felt.A string of bombings killed at least 18 people across Iraq on Monday, shattering a relative lull in violence during the celebration that marks the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. The blasts primarily targeted Iraqi security forces, which have been the focal point of insurgent attacks since U.S. troops pulled out of Iraq's cities at the end of June. The uptick in violence also comes as the country's shops and schools reopened after the Eid holiday that follows the end of the Muslim holy month. Posted by: ed 2009-09-28 |
