NEWS ALERT: SITUATION WORSES IN BAGHDAD: MOTORCYLE BOMB KILLS 19
The situation in Baghdad worsened on Friday when a motorcyle bomb went off in a crowded bazaar in Baghadad killing 19 people. There have been numerous attacks in Baghdad in the past week killing over 200 people as the violence escalats in Iraqi capital city.
BAGHDAD (AP) -- A booby-trapped motorcycle exploded in a crowded bazaar Friday in Baghdad, killing at least 19 people, Iraqi officials said, part of an apparent trend toward increased use of motorcycles to thwart stepped up security measures.
SOURCE: DALLAS MORNING NEWS: http://tinyurl.com/npf5u4
The attack was the latest in a week of violence that has killed more than 200 people, with just four days to go before the deadline for U.S. combat troops to withdraw from cities.
The spike has raised fresh doubts about the ability of Iraqi forces to provide security and fight a stubborn insurgency as their American partners become less visible.
U.S. and Iraqi officials have warned they expect more violence in the days surrounding the deadline as militants stage a show of force to try to stoke sectarian bloodshed and undermine confidence in the government.
But American commanders and Iraqi leaders have insisted the withdrawal will go ahead as scheduled. Under a security pact, the Americans must pull back from cities by June 30 and from the entire country by the end of 2011.
The Baghdad explosion occurred just after 9 a.m. when the market was packed with young people buying or selling motorcycles in central Baghdad, according to police and hospital officials.
Ghaith Abdul-Allah, 35, was unloading motorcycles he planned to sell from his truck when the blast occurred.
BREAKING NEWS: BAGHADAD SHATTERED AGAIN BY BOMB BLAST: 13 KILLED, 45 WOUNDED

Bomb kills 13, wounds 45 in Baghdad
By Abdul Rahman DaherReutersFriday, June 26, 2009 4:50 AM
SOURCE: WASHINGTON POST: http://tinyurl.com/mn2esd
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A bomb killed at least 13 people and wounded 45 when it exploded in an industrial area of Baghdad on Friday, just four days before U.S. combat troops are due to withdraw from Iraqi cities and towns.
Police said the bomb was planted on a motorbike in a market specializing in motorcycles in Bab al-Sheikh, a largely Shi'ite Muslim part of central Baghdad.
Shredded shoes and bits of bloody clothing were scattered around the twisted frames of motorbikes.
A spate of bombings in Baghdad and other parts of Iraq has raised doubts about whether the Iraqi security forces can take over the fight against a stubborn insurgency when U.S. troops withdraw to their bases at the end of this month.
Iraqi police and army have had to be completely rebuilt since U.S. administrators disbanded the Iraqi forces after the U.S. invasion in 2003, a fatal decision that left thousands of trained fighters unemployed and angry, fuelling an insurgency
.
Despite proud assertions from the government that the U.S. pullback represents a victory for Iraq as it regains its sovereignty, many Iraqis lack faith in their own forces.
On Wednesday, 78 people were killed in a bomb attack in Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood, just days after a truck bomb killed 73 people in the northern city of Kirkuk.

BREAKING NEWS: TRUCK BOMB KILLS 70 AND WOUNDS 200 IN NORTHERN IRAQ
A truck bomb exploded as worshippers left a Shiite mosque in northern Iraq on Saturday, killing more than 70 people and wounding nearly 200 in the deadliest bombing this year.
SOURCE: http://tinyurl.com/nkrwjy
The blast near Kirkuk — a city rife with ethnic tensions — came hours after the prime minister warned Iraqis to expect more violence as U.S. troops withdraw from Iraqi cities by the end of this month, but he insisted the deadline will be met “no matter what happens.”
The Americans already have begun pulling back combat troops from inner-city outposts in Baghdad, Mosul and other urban areas ahead of the June 30 deadline set in a security pact that calls for a full U.S. withdrawal from Iraq by 2012.
But continued assassinations and high-profile explosions have heightened concerns that Iraqi forces are not ready to take over their own security.
