Al Qaeda Ally Claims Latest Iraqi Bombings
30 September 2004 A statement apparently from the Tawhid and Jihad group of the al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi says it was behind three suicide attacks on a US military convoy in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. More than 45 people died, included 34 children, and 140 others were wounded. The bombs went off as people gathered for the opening of a water treatment plant, though its not clear whether the US convoy or the crowds was the target. The group also claimed responsibility for an earlier attack in Abu Ghraib, west of Baghdad, which killed two Iraqi police and a US soldier and wounded 60 women and children.
