Thank you tex.. I referenced this thread over at Finest. If I know you at all, this will be a bang up thread of Mideast coverage as well as what is going on across America to remember & honor our dead. Tough evening here. Need to sleep, but may I join other Patriots in thanking the veterans & the families of fallen heroes my sincere gratitude for their honoring our country with their service. God Bless America & protect all of our troops around the USA & the world.
HILLA, Iraq (Reuters) - Two suicide bombers strapped with explosives blew themselves up among crowds of Iraqis in the mainly Shi'ite town of Hilla south of Baghdad on Monday, killing at least 20 people and wounding 35, police said.
They said the first attacker detonated his bomb among Iraqis waiting at a medical center where police, army and civil service recruits have to have check-ups before being hired. The second bomber blew himself up among a crowd of police commandos protesting to demand higher wages.
Insurgents have increased attacks over the past month, killing more than 700 Iraqis since a new Shi'ite-led cabinet was announced on April 28. More than 70 U.S. troops have been killed in the same period, making May the deadliest month for the American military since January.
In February, a suicide bomb in Hilla killed 125 Iraqis -- the deadliest single insurgent attack since Saddam Hussein was overthrown
Thank you DC. Now take some time out and get some good rest if at all possible. Take care and God bless.
