U.S. warned of more suicide attacks in Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Rumors are swirling around Baghdad that foreign terrorists are likely to initiate another massive wave of suicide bombings in the Iraqi capital within days and weeks as the Muslim holy month of Ramadan continues.
A shadowy Iraqi nationalist resistance group known as "Mohammed's Army" used an intermediary to pass on word that a foreign Islamic terrorist cell based in the western Iraqi town of Ramadi plans to carry out bombings on Saturday and Nov. 13, striking Baghdad police stations and other targets associated with the U.S.-led coalition.
"They will not care about bombing mosques, primary schools, civilians, women and children," said the intermediary, who said he was quoting a cell leader who claimed to have knowledge of the plan. "They said this will be a gift for the coalition."
My contact in Baghdad is telling me similar things, but in a city like Baghdad it's hard to sort rumor from fact. CNN is now reporting that weekend is likely to be particularly awful.
Bushco is starting to pay a political price for the conduct of the war. I wonder how much longer they can afford to let this go on.
The interview went very well, but the Executive Director will be out of town for the next two weeks, so I won't hear anything until her return.
