Iraq Erupts In Violence: Tidal Wave Of Al-Qaeda Bomb Blasts Rip Through Over A Dozen Cities, 68 Killed…
BAGHDAD — Insurgents across Iraq launched their most significant and wide-ranging attacks in months on Monday, killing 68 people and wounding over 300, in the most violent day in Iraq this year.
The violence touched nearly every region of the country, except for Kurdistan, and appeared to be aimed at security forces in both Sunni and Shiite areas.
In all, there were 37 attacks, more than double the daily average this year, nearing the level of violence at the height of the sectarian conflict here in 2006 and 2007. The attacks included 11 car bombs, 19 improvised explosive devices and 2 suicide bombers.
No group claimed responsibility for the attacks on Monday. But in a voice recording posted on a Web site for Al Qaeda in Iraq last week, the spokesman for the terrorist group said that they were preparing a wide-scale attack.
“I promise you that we are on the right path,” said the spokesman, Abi Muhhamed al-Adnani. “Thank God that we are doing very well here.”
“Do not worry, the days of Zarqawi are going to return soon,” he said, referring to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the former leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq who was killed by American forces in 2006. ”We have men who have divorced themselves from life and love death more than you love life, and killing is one of their wishes,” he said.
The most lethal attack occurred in the city of Kut, south of Baghdad, where a series of explosions including a car bomb inside the city’s main market around 8 a.m. killed 35 people and wounded 71, according to a local security official. It was the country’s deadliest attack since July 5, when nearly three dozen people were killed in the city of Taji, north of the Iraqi capital. Taji was also attacked on Monday.

Arab sprisumerfall?
Here we go….Iran will move into Iraq eventually and all our spilled blood and treasure will have been for naught. Democracy and Muslims do not mix.
We really need to get out of there and just let these people kill themselves off.
If there busy stoning woman and cutting off body parts of thieves,screwing goats, maybe they won’t have enough time to work on 9/11 ING us again.
“Do not worry, the days of Zarqawi are going to return soon,”

The Days of Zarqawi ended with him taking a JDAM right up the keister.
No Americans….good.
otherwise…so what?
Yep and when we pull our people out they will be screaming that we abandoned them. Either way I can’t wait to say goodbye.
”We have men who have divorced themselves from life and love death more than you love life, and killing is one of their wishes,” he said.
DAMN, WHAT A FINE RELIGION THAT ISLAM IS, EH? And they don’t even get it: “killing is one of their wishes”……..is there nothing else? Satan MUST be their god.
I’ll be most of the average Iraqis wish the neo-colonists of the US had stayed. Not to be snarky but what did people expect when we turned over the country? Everything that was predicted has happened. We seem to forget how long the US stayed (still staying) in Germany after WWII. What would have happened had we left immediately? Russian expansion.
*I meant…I’ll bet
Happy Ramadan.
The world under muslim control should really be a blast.
”We have men who have divorced themselves from life and love death more than you love life, and killing is one of their wishes,”
Skoken like a true SATAN worshipping fairy moon devil islamo moslim. The religion of Pieces.
Dateline – Austria, 1945 No citizens died today in Austria. The forces of the U.S. Army Military Governor of the former country known as Austria stated that all uniformed personnel were accounted for and without fatal wounds. Some few corpses were removed from the street after sunrise having died as result of their injuries during curfew enforcement the preceding night.
S.O.P. for Austria during the army of occupation = ANYONE ON THE STREET AFTER DARK WILL BE SHOT. (The .30 cal air cooled machine gun in the intersection was the primary means of enforcement.)
Guess what boys and girls: time was our military was allowed to defend the population of the countries we liberated and KILL the insurgents/rebels/tangos.
Ahh the memories.
69? Big deal! The Nordicshooter did 68 all by himself!
Do they pick up all the body parts and bury them right away? This picture looks like there is a child’s hand and foot in the bottom right. Not sure, but sickening, either way!
