#1 The twelve will get the good virgins that Allah has been holding back. The survivors are climbing a steep learning curve, and should be proud of their progress. Oh, and thank goodness that last blast didn't result in the fuel tanker going up -- what were they thinking to attack such a thing in a residential neighborhood!?! (Yes, I know that the idea of terrorism is to terrorize, but this willingness to so alienate the locals smacks of extreme hubris coupled with serious desperation.)

#2 Like I said immediately above: these were Iraqui policemen and bomb-squad who got killed, so the writer mentions them.

wounding three pedestrians and destroying five cars, witnesses and Iraqi officials said.

This doesn't count: the writer is reporting what witnesses and Iraqi officials said, not what he, the writer, is writing as interpretation and filler.
