Terrorist attacks in Iraq leave 24 people dead
2014-04-14
[Iran Press TV] At least two dozen people have been killed in a series of terrorist attacks in northern Iraq, in a surge of violence ahead of the country's parliamentary elections.

According to Iraqi officials, 11 people, including five soldiers, bit the dust when a boom-mobile blasted near a security checkpoint in the city of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, northwest of the capital Storied Baghdad on Sunday.

In a separate incident in the city, a boom-mobile kaboom in a market area left six people dead and nearly 10 others injured.

Meanwhile in Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
a blast targeting a security checkpoint in the northwestern part of the city killed seven coppers. Eleven coppers were also maimed in the kaboom.

Earlier in the day, a kaboom targeted the convoy of Iraq's Parliament Speaker Osama al-Nujaifi in Kirkuk, but he escaped unharmed.

On Friday, unknown gunnies attacked the convoy of Deputy Prime Minister Saleh al-Mutlaq, who escaped the liquidation attempt in the Abu Ghraib area west of Storied Baghdad unhurt.

Violence has been on the rise in Iraq as the country prepares for parliamentary polls set for April 30.

Analysts say terrorist groups such as the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant
... the current version of al-Qaeda in Iraq, just as blood-thirsty and well-beloved as the original...
(ISIL) are coming to Iraq from neighboring Syria and Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
to undermine security in the country.

The government in Iraq has blamed Riyadh for the chaos, saying the Saudi regime is funding and arming hard boyz fighting against forces in the country's western areas.
