BREAKING NEWS: TWO CAR BOMBS ROCK BAGHDAD

Hey FOX NEWS: Let's hear it again about how well the "surge" is working. C'mon FOX NEWS peddle the Bush White House BS.

Perhaps it is events like this why FOX NEWS doesn't have a reporter on the ground in Baghdad or anywhere in Iraq. It is way too dangerous and only getting worse each day.

BAGHDAD - Two car bombs rocked Baghdad on Monday, killing 11 people and wounding 30, as US Defence Secretary Robert Gates was winding up a two-day visit to the violent Iraqi capital, officials said.

Witnesses said the bombs exploded in the southeastern neighbourhood of Jadriyah around noon (0900 GMT) as Gates was about to leave the country.

A security official said the two car bombs exploded almost simultaneouslyat the busy Al Huriyah square.

Gates was greeted on his arrival on Sunday by a powerful car bomb triggered by a suicide attacker that killed 25 people at a market in the village of Yathreb near Balad, north of Baghdad.

The defence secretary said on Monday the security situation in Baghdad remained ‘fragile’ and that he was in favour of a short pause in troop drawdowns from Iraq after about 30,000 soldiers have been sent home by July.
