The "In Fighting" Begins: Sunnis attack Sunnis

Good morning,

The predictable script continues. The subset of Sunnis who are vehemently against the referendum are exceptionally pissed at the subset of the Sunnis who now want to vote "Yes" on the referrendum. Sunni insurgents launched five attacks against the largest Sunni Arab political party on the eve of Iraq's crucial referendum Friday, bombing and burning offices and the home of one of its leaders in retaliation after the group dropped its opposition to the draft constitution. There are no deaths to report, just a lot of bombed out buildings.

In another insurgent attack in Baghdad on Friday, the Muslim day of worship in Iraq, a roadside bomb wounded four Iraqi civilians when it exploded near one of the many schools in the capital that U.S. soldiers are fortifying with concrete barriers and barbed wire so they can be used as polling stations in Saturday's vote, said police 1st Lt. Mua'taz Saladin.

Have a nice day.
