25+ Killed in Shiite Mosque, 87+ Wounded
Good morning,Hundreds of men had gathered at the mosque, located in the center of Hillah, for prayers before returning home to eat the meal that ends the day's sunrise to sunset fast, when a blast went off at 6 p.m. At least 25 were killed and more than 87 wounded.
The martyr car bomber exploded himself at the front of the mosque, where worshippers gathered for prayers on this first day of Ramadan. The blast ripped through the facade of the mosque which was obliterated. Worshippers experienced the roof crumble down around them. Others were there for the funeral of a restaurant owner who was killed earlier when his restaurant was bombed just days before.
Al Quieda in Iraq has called for an all out war on Iraq's majority Shiite population during the holy month. No doubt this blog will be extra busy in the days to come to record the human devistation ignited by the US attack on Iraq.
Until sooner......
