2. Report: Suicide Bomber Kills 25 in Northern Iraq

DUBAI (Reuters) - A suicide bomber attacked the headquarters of a Kurdish party in north
Iraq Sunday, killing around 25 people, satellite television Al Arabiya reported.

The Arabic-language news channel, citing its correspondent, said the attack took place in the town of Tal Afar near Mosul, about 240 miles north of Baghdad.

The channel said around 30 people were wounded in the attack on the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), but gave no more details. The report could not immediately be confirmed.

Insurgents have in recent days carried out a furious sequence of attacks, including more than 15 car bombings in Baghdad that have killed dozens.

The upsurge comes after Iraq Thursday formed its first democratically elected government in 50 years.

Iraqi officials say militants have capitalized on months of political haggling over the government's formation to step up attacks.

Car Bomb Blast at Baghdad Funeral Kills 20, Raising Three-Day Death Toll to at Least 100

BAGHDAD, Iraq May 1, 2005 — A suicide car bomb exploded at the funeral of Kurdish official in northern Iraq on Sunday, killing 20 Iraqis, officials said, and wounding more than 30 and bringing the death toll in three days of insurgent attacks to at least 100.

<snip>

At least 100 people, including six U.S. soldiers, have died since Friday, a day after the approval of Iraq's first democratically elected government. The wave of violence is aimed at deflating hopes in Washington and Baghdad that the installation of the new government, scheduled for Tuesday, would curb the insurgency.

7. Hold it. Isn't the insurgency at an end? near end? less and less?

Isn't * pleased with the Iraq thing?
Or he said something like that at the recent Denialfest on t.v the other night?

But then... we don't do body counts.

8. The headline says Baghdad funeral

But the story says northern Iraq.
