Suicide bomber kills 37 in western Iraq – police officers, medical official

BAGHDAD (Reuters) – Thirty seven people were killed when a suicide bomber rammed an explosives-packed Humvee military vehicle into a construction site, used by the army and police, according to two police officers and a medical official.

The blast killed 22 security personnel and 15 civilians, the medical and police sources said. The nine-storey building under construction, used as a base by security personnel, was located in the centre of Ramadi in western Anbar province.

Ramadi and its sister city Falluja have been plagued by fighting between the security forces and the extremist Islamic State and other armed groups since January.

totally ignored by the American media.

It took the threat of a Muslim caliphate, cough, to get any attention.

America left Iraq a mess and did not want to pay attention, now that it must pay attention look at all the same shrill voices wanting more of the same unlimited war that caused the mess in the first place.

I am also looking at you, mass media freakshow ring masters.

Praise The Lord Obama is in charge, and the voters that elected him to do exactly what he is doing now, resisting the dogs of war.
