#2 Remember this is an Iraqi politician, of unnamed party affiliation, which who-knows-what agenda, reported in a Pakistani newspaper.

#3 I thought that "to imagine" was a kuffar thing and prohibited by Muhammad?

#5 one of the blasts, in which a building was obliterated and about 100 houses destroyed

#6 I read it was an ammo dump. Probably destroyed it because they would have lost it anyway! Is this the area that Gaddafi's son is running? He probably also wanted to make himself a name real quick, too. "See, I can make big booms!"

#7 Yeah, I think that was the one where they were detonating an IED and the concussion set off an ammo dump in a nearby building. "Holy shit!" was probably the chorus on the site! The next day the police chief was inspecting the hole and a boomer took him out. Great town.
