Five mortars hit Baghdad district, some casualties

BAGHDAD, Jan 20 (Reuters) - Five mortars hit a residential area in northern Baghdad on Saturday, killing and wounding several people, a resident and a hospital source said.

"I saw three dead and 25 wounded, some of them seriously," said Abu Aliyaa, a resident of the Nuaaman district, a mixed area where both Shi'ites and Sunni Arabs live.

One source at Nuaaman hospital said 17 bodies had been brought to the hospital and 49 wounded, but there was no confirmation of that or whether all the casualties were from the mortar attacks.

Police could not immediately confirm the casualties.

"You know, Mission Accomplished and all that shit. So don't pay any attention to the negative news about Iraq coming out of the liberal media. You can rest assured that I am safe, comfortable, making beaucoup oil profits along with my republicon cronies, and generally having a blast pretending to be a competent military leader."

"Let's just send some more of YOUR kids over there, eh?"
