| I wonder if the store was selling phones to the 'wrong' IED makers? IED ATTACK IN MUQDADIYAH MUQDADIYAH, Iraq - Five Iraqi civilians were killed and 25 others were injured during an improvised explosive device attack Monday in a cell phone store in Muqdadiyah, Iraq. The attack took placed at around 4 pm, when an undetermined number of insurgent forces entered the cell phone shop, shot and killed the owner, then placed the IED inside the store. The IED exploded when a crowd of civilians gathered near the shop. The Muqdadiyah Iraqi police responded to the attack, where they found four local civilians dead on site and 26 injured. Four were treated for minor injuries on site and released, and 21 others were taken to Forward Operating Base Normandy, where they received medical treatment by medics from 6-9 Armored Reconnaissance Squadron, 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division. One of the injured civilians was dead on arrival at the medical facility. This incident is currently under investigation by Iraqi and Coalition forces. |

| #1 The terrorists used to think that cellphones were their ally. But now with the people turned against them, cellphones are death itself to them. Now, when terrorists try to take over some small town, the first thing they do is try and confiscate all of the cellphones. |
