Well, the #1 way of detonating IEDs in Iraq is with a cell phone wired into the detonator. And since the Treason Times announced that the NSA was listening in on calls going outside the country, what better way to call phone numbers that might be on the watch list than with a cell phone with no way to trace the call back...

That may be why they needed so many. There's no way to blow that bridge without serious bomb making power and know how, but how hard would it be to plant a few dozen IEDs on the bridge and cause a panic? Especially if it was packed with traffic and pedestrians? Even a few strategically placed VBIEDs with cell phone detonators would cause major chaos.

This stuff is a daily occurance in Iraq. IED expertise is common, and easy to teach. The real trick to plant them and escape. Still, even under the eye of surveillance cameras, terrorists have pulled off some pretty amazing stuff and managed to escape.

Some aren't interested in escape. They become suicide bombers. Maybe they will take a walk on the bridge themselves, at say 10 feet intervals, and all together, detonate the bombs.
