Sunni-Shi'ite Jihad Update. By Sinan Salaheddin for the Associated Press:
BAGHDAD - Militants blew up three Sunni mosques south of Baghdad on Wednesday — apparently revenge strikes for a suicide truck bombing a day before that killed at least 87 people and badly damaged an important Shiite mosque in the capital.
[...]
Wednesday's mosque bombings south of the capital caused no casualties, because no prayers were going on at the time.
Police said suspected Shiite militiamen detonated a bomb inside a Sunni mosque in Haswa, 30 miles south of Baghdad, at about 1 a.m. About six hours later, militants struck again at mosque near Hillah, about 60 miles south of the capital. A third Sunni mosque was attacked and damaged in an explosion in Iskandariyah, 30 miles south of Baghdad; the mosque was first attacked last week.
Police officials who reported the bombings spoke on condition of anonymity because they feared retribution.
The attackers near Hillah also targeted the imam's house near the mosque, but the cleric fled when he saw them coming, according to the police.
Tuesday's suicide truck bombing against the Khulani mosque in central Baghdad was the deadliest single attack in Iraq since April 18, when at least 127 civilians were killed when a bomb detonated parked car at a mostly Shiite market in central Baghdad.
At a joint briefing with a U.S. military spokesman, Iraqi army spokesman Brig. Qassim al-Mousawi said the truck was carrying about 50 cooking gas cylinders and about 1,100 pounds of TNT.
Asked how the suicide bomber managed to drive his truck bomb through Baghdad and next to the mosque, al-Mousawi said that it was booby-trapped in the nearby industrial area of Sheik Omar. There were no checkpoints between there and the mosque, he said.
Authorities are planning to put security fences near the mosques.
Police initially said the bomb was hidden in a truck piled high with electric fans and air conditioners.
Sunni or Shiite , all they ALL really know how to do is hate the other and Kuffars and kill and Destroy. we say " It is easier to destroy than to build " well Muslims never proved that saying as truer. I really wish there was a way to make the biggest group of blame layers and violent hypocrites in history just go away.
"Authorities are planning to put security fences near the mosques."
...it is not unusual for military compounds to have security fences....
and
"al-Mousawi said that it was booby-trapped in the nearby industrial area of Sheik Omar."
.... clearly indicating tons of explosives remain hidden within so called safe areas....inside of the security checkpoints...time for some serious door to door canvassing...
"
..."Wednesday's mosque bombings south of the capital caused no casualties, because no prayers were going on at the time"...
What a waste of good gunpowder...
..."Police officials who reported the bombings spoke on condition of anonymity because they feared retribution"...
Police officials afraid of retribution?
Why do we bother training these fools?
..."the cleric fled when he saw them coming"...
A true muslim, gutless coward.
..."There were no checkpoints between there and the mosque"...
The Americans leave town for a few days....
This story goes under the "joke of the day" heading, right next to the one about the idiots fleeing gaza, trapped in a tunnel, begging for mercy from the Jews they were bombing just last week.

Is the Fleeing Imam related to the Flying Imams?
Jimmy crack corn, and guess what, I don't care.
"The attackers near Hillah also targeted the imam's house near the mosque, but the cleric fled when he saw them coming, according to the police."
but, but - how come these guys don't want to die for their religion while only sending out the young fools, and children, to die? There is certainly no leadership by example, is there? shucks!
"Police initially said the bomb was hidden in a truck piled high with electric fans and air conditioners."
..................Cool.....................
"Police initially said the bomb was hidden in a truck piled high with electric fans and air conditioners."
....once again the Muslims try to make life miserable for other Muslims...not only did they kill the Muslims, but they also denied the other Muslims the luxury of fans and air conditioners...
...Islam is for losers.

"....Cool...."
Too funny, I bust out laughing here in the office, people looking at me like I'm strange...

How Muslims treat special needs children:

Someone draws a cartoon and there are riots...their own children are chained and starved to death, they parade their own people through the streets and kill them in front of their families, they blow up their own mosques, they use their own children as shields and make them into bombs...and somehow this is all ok under their religion and their deity...no riots...no protests...nothing...just raped women, starving children, blownup children -- they blew up...and they try to tell us they have the ultimate way of peace.
"Authorities are planning to put security fences near the mosques."
and near schools, hospitals, cafes, stores, repair shops, markets, stadiums, TV and radio stations, intersections, sidewalks, roads, trees, poles, walls, fences, gates, man-holes covers, and everything that moves or doesn't.
It is mind-bogelling that Condi, Bush, Cheney etc think that place can ever be secured or pacified. Pathetic. What will it take for them to admit obvious reality???
ISLAM: origin of the Short Bus.
(Originally a dwarf camel?)
prayers lifted for the electric fans and AC units
may they rest in peace
/not cool ?
