#2 The attack was the second deadly bombing in as many days in Anbar, where violence has increased in recent months after local tribes joined forces with the US military to push Sunni Islamist al-Qaeda out of the vast region.

Violence is increasing in Anbar? Not based on everything else I've read. But I see that meme in 2 articles in today's Iraq section. Is it a revised talking point regarding Anbar?

Good, no next generation of LEADERS.

#7 I wonder: should the punk kid's entire family be found with bullets to their heads, might it serve as a warning to others?

No...of course not. We're dealing with muslims. I almost forgot
