Iraqi Rebels Hit Ministry, Oil, Security Forces

9 minutes ago World - Reuters

By Waleed Ibrahim

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Rebels bracing for a U.S.-led assault on their Falluja and Ramadi strongholds showed their muscle Tuesday with a bloody car bombing in Baghdad, strikes on oil pipelines and several attacks on Iraqi security forces.

A morning car bomb blast at the Education Ministry brought fresh carnage to the busy streets of Baghdad, killing six people and wounding eight, an Interior Ministry spokesman said.

"I'm not crying because I'm wounded, but because of my brother. I was with him and I don't know what happened to him," said a weeping Abbas Kadhim, 32, who was hit in the stomach by fragments of concrete as he sat in his car near the ministry.

The blast in Baghdad's mainly Sunni Adhamiya district badly damaged the Education Ministry building and destroyed 31 cars. Flames licked the body of an elderly man killed in the explosion, which scattered body parts across the street.

2. I always here repuklicans crying about why the news channels

only focus on the negative and don't tell of all the good things going on in Iraq...

Could it possibly (just a wild guess) be that there just isn't alot of good news in Iraq?

6. If Bush & Cheney practise any MORE of their luv with the Iraqi people

they won't make it. Too much "freedom" can be a bad thing, apparently.
