More mayhem compliments of the religion of peace. The worst part is, among the dead were 24 children.
24 Children Among Dead After Twin Truck Bombs Explode in Baghdad
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Two dozen children were among the 155 people killed after two truck bombs exploded in one of Baghdad’s safest areas on Sunday.
An official at the hospital where the children’s bodies were brought says they were on a bus leaving a daycare center next to the Justice Ministry when the attack happened. The bus driver was also killed, and six kids injured.
A local police official confirmed the deaths of the children in Sunday’s attack. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity Monday because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
Iraqi security forces blocked streets around the capital Monday and carried out intense searches at checkpoints a day after the country’s worst attacks in more than two years. The attacks targeted the Justice Ministry and Baghdad Provincial Administration in the heart of the capital, calling into question Iraq’s ability to protect itself as it prepares for January elections and the U.S. military withdrawal.
“Today, we came to work despite the fear inside us,” said Siham Abdul-Karim, 49, an employee of the Culture Ministry located near the site of the bombings and surrounded by police checkpoints on Monday. “We all wonder how could car bombs could reach these institutions.”
The death toll rose to 155 on Monday as Baghdad residents buried the dead. About 500 people were injured, authorities said.

Again we see the vicious brutality that islam unleashes, even on its own adherents. The more American troops withdraw, the worse the situation seems to get. Based on my observations living out here in the ummah the past 6 years, the religion of peace sure does abhor a lack of violence…
