The Iraqi Civil War continues: A suicide truck packed with 4,000 pounds of explosives detonates in the Shi’ite (partisans of Ali) Moslem section of Tal Afar killing 152 Iraqi citizens.
NOTES:
- In 2005 Iraq accounted for roughly one-third of the terrorist attacks around the world. Over the course of the two years from 2005 to 2007, that percentage more than doubled.
- Meanwhile no members of the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) lost their lives.
