BAGHDAD, Aug 15 (KUNA) -- Terrorists on Monday killed two and injured three personal guards of Iraq's Vice-President Aadel Abdul-Mahdi.

According to a military source, the VP's convoy was assaulted with a bomb blast in Dayala governorate north-east of Baghdad.

The VP, added the source, was not in the convoy when the blast occurred.

As eyewitness claimed that the VP's guards opened fire randomly after the blast leading to the death of two civilians, the VP's bureau refrained from commenting until further notice. (pickup previous) ahh.

1. Is Negroponte still in Iraq?

Just wondering.

[whistle]

4. Sure looks like it, but I think his death squad policies are most...

...definitely well installed and being implemented to the fullest.

I heard on NPR this morning that the Shiite Muslims of Iraq are the source of Iraqi insurgents, and now they are the ones taking power in Iraq in BushCo's so called free elections. This is very confusing but not at all surprising. Iraq will end up like Iran did after the fall of the Shah back on January 16, 1979.

2. It was "terrorists". Well, I don't know about you but I am not terrified

by what they did, It's all kind of par for the course, business as usual in colonial Iraq.

6. the word "terrorist" has lost all meaning and relevancy in Iraq...

...thanks to the Bush administration and it's international crime spree.
