Mortar Shells Kill 8 in Mosul
Things are so bad in Iraq, and so many people have been killed lately, that what would once have been my headline for today was barely picked up by the wire services. ash-Sharq al-Awsat says that guerrillas in Mosul accidentally launched their mortar shells into a civilian crowd, when presumably they were aiming for Iraqi police or Coalition troops. They killed 8 civilians and wounded 17.
