IRBIL, Iraq - Two suicide bombers struck the offices of two U.S.-backed Kurdish parties in near-simultaneous attacks Sunday as hundreds of Iraqis gathered to celebrate a Muslim holiday. At least 56 people were killed and more than 235 were wounded, officials said.

One Kurdish minister said the death toll could exceed 100. The U.S. command in Baghdad put the casualty toll at 56 dead and more than 200 were injured. Kurdish officials said 57 were dead and the count could go higher.

The attack was believed to be the deadliest since an Aug. 29 car bombing in the holy city of Najaf killed Ayatollah Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim and more than 100 others as they emerged from Friday prayers.

It was also believed to have been the first in which the suicide attackers wired bombs to themselves and detonated them while on foot, akin to the suicide attacks by Palestinian militants in Israel.

OK, two things that caught my attention of this article...
1) Think about this now..."suicide bombers" attack a KURDISH political
party post. WHY?
2) "similarities" in suicide attacks utilized by palestinian
militands in Israel...
Very strange to say the least.

The main thing though is the attack against the Kurdish political
party. Why? It makes NO friggin sense. None. Remember that Rumsfeld
stated that they would be eliminating the Kurdish "terrorists"...
Something bad is happening here folks...

1. "US-backed" is the key here I think.

First shot fired in the beginning of a bloody Iraqi civil war. You're right, something bad is happening here.

Malloy on Republicans: "Have I told you today how much I hate these people?" Amen brother. Thank you, George.

2. Chaos or a dictatorship

Was Saddam the lesser of the two evils?
