Baghdad Bombings!!!!

Suicide attackers detonated three car bombs in quick secession near foreign embassies in Baghdad on Sunday, killing more than twenty-five people in coordinated strikes that Iraqi officials said were intended to disrupt the efforts to form a new government. The bombings followed the execution-style killings of twenty-four villagers in a Sunni area two days earlier, a spike in violence suggests insurgents are seizing on the political uncertainty after the recent election to try to destabilize the country as U.S. troops prepare to leave. Officials blame the Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia. Whenever there is political disagreement as the one Iraq is facing because they are about to form a coalition after the March 7 parliamentary election, Al Qaeda tries to conduct terrorist operations so that Iraqi politicians can blame each other for the chaos. The bombings on Sunday were the first coordinated attacks in Baghdad since January when three downtown hotels were bombed. The bombings were simply to try to influence a new formation of government. It seems as if the Al Qaeda is never going to stop. Is the war on terrorism getting worse? It seems that way to me. The Al Qaeda is a very large group willing to do whatever to get their voice heard.A fourth bombing was attempted at the offices of the governments embassy, but police men shot and wounded the driver. He was driving a mini bus packed with m,any explosives. People died from the three explosions, but at least some lives were saved. The man was seventeen years old.The war on terrorism is going to take decades to resolve.They have influence young people to engage in terrorist acts, and that is not including the advanced terrorists who have been a part of Al Qaeda for years. My grieve and sorrow goes out to Iraq. They have long fight before ending terrorism in their country with the presence of a government that is going to make mistakes.
