40 Dead in Tikrit Bombing
Iraq conflict creating Terror Threat for US: NIE
Bombings in Baghdad’s Sadr City region killed at least 40 and wounded a similar number on Saturday.
9 bodies of Iraqi policemen and members of security forces were found in Tikrit, north of Baghdad.
3 US GIs were announced killed.
In the south, a roadside bomb killed a Danish soldier and wounded 7 others.
It turns out that Iraq isn’t the central front in the ‘war on terror.’ It is instead now the principal incubator of anti-American terrorism, because people in the Sunni world are so furious at what Bush is doing there. That is the conclusion I draw from this report on the conclusions of US intelligence analysts.
