Terrorists Kill 80

As the surge continues in Iraq the insurgent terrorist's are attacking in areas that were once safe, but are becoming killing grounds as they are chased from Baghdad and other safe terrorist havens by United States and Iraqi troops. It is good that they are being driven out of their hiding areas, but sad for those new innocents who are getting in their way.

A suicide truck bombing followed by two smaller car bombs killed more than 80 people and wounded at least 180 Monday in what's believed to be the deadliest attack in this northern city since the start of the war, police said. The blasts in this city of deep tensions between Kurds and Arabs came as Sunni insurgents were believed to be moving north, fleeing a U.S. offensive around Baghdad and consolidating to carry out deadly bombings.

The massive explosion from the truck bomb around noon blasted a 30-foot-deep crater and damaged part of the roof of the headquarters of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, the party of President Jalal Talabani.
