Default Car bomb kills more than 50 people in Baghdad

After 2 months where the death toll in Afghanistan has been above Iraq, change is starting again. In Afghanistan the Taliban has several villages with the people that hasn't left as shields and now in Iraq they again attack civilians. Yet they claim loyalty to Islam. And don't bother to follow the words of Muhammad, which are in my siggy at the very bottom. Or the fact that an Arab is not suppose to kill another Arab. Those faithful Muslims are being slaughtered and still haven't stood up and said a thing against the terrorist. This is very strange to my way of thinking.

The attack occurred just before 6 p.m. as the market in the northwestern Hurriyah neighborhood was packed with shoppers preparing for their evening meals.

Nobody claimed responsibility for the attack, but it bore the hallmarks of al-Qaida in Iraq, which is known to use car bombs and suicide attacks.

A soft drink vendor who witnessed the blast, Kamil Jassim, said the car that exploded was parked near a two-story building with shops on the bottom floor and apartments on top. He said a nearby generator caught on fire, partially collapsing the building and burning several other houses.

The casualty toll spiked to at least 51 people killed and 75 people wounded after rescue crews extinguished the blaze and found the bodies of dozens of victims who had been trapped inside or buried in the rubble, a police officer said,
