| Deadly wave of car bombings targeting Shi'ites in Iraq |
| 2013-07-29 |
| Seventeen car bombs exploded in Iraq on Monday, killing at least 55 people. The attacks, which appeared to be coordinated, were concentrated on towns and cities in Iraq's predominantly Shi'ite south, and districts of the capital where Shi'ites reside. At least 10 people were killed when two car bombs blew up near a bus station in the city of Kut, 95 miles southeast of the capital. Four more were killed in a blast in the town of Mahmoudiya, about 20 miles south of Baghdad, and two bombs in Samawa, further south, killed two. The rest of the bombings took place in regions of Baghdad, in Sadr city, Habibiya, Hurriya, Bayaa, Ur, Shurta, Kadhimiya, Risala, Tobchi and Abu Dsheer neighborhoods. |

| #5 The Sunnis hate the Shias and everyone hates the Juice. In the ME, it's like National Brotherhood Week every day. |
