| Car boomers target Iraqi police, 12 dead | |
| 2003-11-22 | |
| Two car bombs exploded Saturday at police stations in two towns near Baghdad, killing 12 people, all but one of them policemen. The first blast occurred in Baquba, about 35 miles northeast of Baghdad. Minutes later, the second blew up in Khan Bani Saad, a crowded market town about 12 miles south of Baqouba on the road to Baghdad. Lt. Hussein Hazem said six officers died in the Baqouba explosion, which left a large hole at the entrance to the building. He said at least 10 civilians were hurt. The explosion in Khan Bani Saad, which was carried out by a suicide driver, killed a 6-year-old girl and five policemen, according to Maj. Jabar Hussein of the local civil defense force. A 6 year old. Fisk and the BBC did a lot of heart-rending stories on the child victims of "Mr. Bush’s war" (never "Mr. Hussein’s war," or the "war incited by Saddam’s faith in the fifth column media"). Don’t hold your breath for a similar story on this innocent baby, though. Dead children are no concern to the "peace" movement unless their broken bodies can serve as a propaganda club for beating down the anti-jihad forces. The Iraqi police will do one of two things; they will either cave to the jihadis, or they will go completely medieval on them.

| #1 Theses bastards are equal opportunities killers, age doesn't count. Poor child. Putting victims in different categories due to your worldview is nothing new; I don't know for US media, but for instance israeli casualties are usually denied any humanity (ie no mention of age & sex, no hospital visits, no voice given to their family), unlike palestinian ones, and that's an unmistakable trend. There 's a good suffering, one you can relate to, and an irrelevant suffering, or so say the media. |
