DOUBLE BOMBING ROCKS BAGHDAD SUNDAY

There has been a double bombing in Baghdad that has left nearly two dozen dead or wounded and the otherwise quiet city of Baquba has also seen the silence shattered with bombings.

Sen. John McCain keeps telling the American public that "we have won the war in Iraq" and nothing could be further from the truth.

Of course, McCain has his propaganda mouthpiece FOX NEWS spreading the same garbage to their viewers in their never-ending attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of Americans.

Five killed, 19 wounded in Iraq violence

BAGHDAD - A double bombing in Baghdad and a shootout in the restive city of Baquba claimed the lives of at least five people and wounded 19 others on Sunday, security sources said.


Up to three people were killed and eight wounded, including five policemen, when a bomb targeting a patrol exploded on a through-road leading to Iraq's interior ministry, security sources at the ministry said.

As police ran to help a second bomb went off, wounding another five officers, they said.
Meanwhile, in Baquba, two policeman were killed and six others including a woman were wounded in a shootout, the defence ministry said.


Earlier this month Iraqi forces backed by US troops launched a massive assault against insurgents in Diyala, one of Iraq's most dangerous areas where fighters regularly carry out attacks.
