From The Mosques To The Markets
The news from Baghdad is relentless and heavily canted toward hopelessness. Yet another al-Qaeda-inspired suicide-driving bomber. This time 78 peoples' lives destroyed. A Shia mosque was the target. Al-Qaeda appears to have tightly embraced the utility of car-bomb networking. They're so immoderately successful in the scope of the carnage they perform.A witness described the bomber ramming his truck into the Khilani mosque in Baghdad, destroying one wall, wrecking part of the building's interior. Rescuers pulled bodies from the mosque. Charred remnants of other once-living humans could be seen in burned-out minibuses at a traffic circle nearby the mosque. The wounded numbered 224.
Sunni militias spreading the word of Allah. God is Great, they claim. Greatest, they maintain, when with their inestimable faith and assistance the carnage is the greatest. Holy places in Islam where Sunnis worship are exempt, only the Shia mosques targeted. Is this not as it should be, as Allah has ordained?
Still, the damage was not quite as severe as an earlier and very successful bombing in April near a Baghdad market that killed 140 people. The search for perfection in execution is ongoing, relentless, God-inspired.
This explosion evidently closely followed a quiet period after a brief curfew. One that was imposed after an attack on a revered Shi'ite shrine in the city of Samarra. Also the work of the indefatigable al-Qaeda, in its holy quest.
Yet all is not Sunni upon Shia, Shia upon Sunni. For it happens also that militias loyal to Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr fought police linked to a rival Shia faction in the city of Nassiriya. Hospital spokespersons informed that 35 people had been killed over the past two days.
In the name of the Almighty, He on high, the Most Perfect, the Illustrious One: Allah.
