Surging along to the grave: Triple Car Bomb in Iraq

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7139974.stm

<snip>
Police in Baghdad say the three bombs exploded in quick succession at about 1100 local time (0800 GMT).

There are conflicting reports on the number of casualties, but the city council's security chief told the BBC that 39 people were killed, and 125 more were hurt.

Most of the dead and injured are said to have been caught by the third blast.

Correspondents say it is rare for the area to experience car bomb attacks of this kind.

British troops handed over responsibility for security in Maysan to Iraqi forces in April.

1. "Correspondents say it's rare..." Well that's allrightey then. As long as the

attacks are 'rare' that means everything is just great and the surge is a success.
