Roadside Bomb Kills 3 U.S. Troops in Iraq
"North of Baghdad, three soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb at about 9 a.m. as they traveled in a convoy near Samarra.
Meanwhile, a car bomb exploded in front of the Kurdish Interior Ministry in the nothern Iraq city of Irbil, near Kirkuk, at about 11 a.m., killing at least four people, according to one witness.
Irbil houses the Kurdish parliament. Under U.S.-led aerial protection, Iraqi Kurds, ethnically distinct from the majority Arabs, have ruled an autonomous Switzerland-sized stretch of northern Iraq since the end of the Gulf War (news - web sites) more than a decade ago.
Kircout Ali, a civilian who was at the scene of the blast in Irbil, said the bomb exploded at barricades in front of the Interior Ministry. At least four passengers in a car beside the booby-trapped car were killed, Ali said. The U.S. military confirmed an explosion in Irbil, but released no further details."
Are you really safer now as Holy Joe proudly pointed out? I'm wondering if Holy Joe has climbed into his own spider hole of denial. The denial apparently is that we are NOT safer because of the capture of Saddam.
