Bloody Monday In Baghdad


In a sad story coming out of Baghdad this morning dozens of people were killed and dozens more were wounded Monday, when two suicide car bombs exploded in different parts of Baghdad, police said.

Neither of the attacks took place in the areas of the sprawling city where Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was visiting. Also Monday, the U.S. military reported finding a grave with 14 bodies, believed to be members of the Iraqi security forces executed by al-Qaida in Iraq.

In Baghdad's deadliest attack, a suicide car bomber killed at least 22 people and wounded 43 in central Baghdad's Bab al-Mudham neighborhood on the eastern bank of the Tigris. Associated Press Television News footage showed a 6.5-foot crater blown into the street by the explosion, which destroyed numerous cars and trucks and littered the area with shrapnel and debris.

A bloody beginning to a new week,and a new month for the Iraqi's!
