Wow! Good work, everybody. IIRC, it was an "ambulance bomb" that did all that damage a couple of weeks ago. In fact, an ambulance with the Red Crescent logo on the side.
Glad the Iraqis were so observant.

Iraqi police have discovered an ambulance packed with 450kg of explosives and United States officials...
Wow, were those officials democrats or republicans?

For reference, this is 1/4 size of bomb that destroyed your building in City of Oklahoma.

Nice job by the Iraqi cops. Shame they didn't shoot the fleeing bastards in the back though.

They were bureaucrats.
The horror....the horror...
Iraqi civilization might have become impossible in one terrorist act.
Shalom.

Take the captured driver and accomplice and find out who they are. If they are Iraqis, arrest their families, hang them upside down in front of them and proceed to beat the living crap out of one of them to demonstrate that you have the will to kill them even if the captured prisoners refuses to talk. After you beat the first to death, then start asking questions and threaten to beat the next family member. The information you get will lead to more arrests and more special treatment. That is how this war will be won. Shiite and Kurdish troops and ruthless methods. Welcome to counter insurgency Freepers.

This would have made one big BANG!

Y'know...he's got a point there.
It is really frustrating playing by all these "rules", while they use ambulances as bombs, kill innocent civilians, and generally do ANYTHING they want on their side of the war. It's crazy how they say they're so religious, and they don't care how people die, if they're innocent babies...they'll bomb anything, and I'm sure they have no worries about spreading chemical, disease, and nuclear disaster the second they get their hands on it.
I'm sure we wont see our guys string up people in the town square (but thanks for that visual - it releases a little of my frustration!), but certainly we are going to have to thicken our skin a little (well, maybe not us, but many others in this country) and do more of what it takes to get information. It's all cool to take the "high ground", but if they got information they need to end this using some torture, intimidation, and do to them what they do to others (an appendage to the golden rule?) then I wouldn't lose any sleep over it - and if they did it in secret, well, neither would anybody else.

I think the 450kg is as powerfull or more than the OKC bomb. The detonation rate of anfo is inferior to that of munitions explosive. I do not know for sure, this is why I flag'd the others...

I think the 450kg is as powerfull or more than the OKC bomb I look over journals and estimates here which put your "OKC" bomb at equivalent of 1800 kg high explosive.
