I stand corrected. This is purposely false/misleading reporting and not lying.
I gave up reading after about 10 paragraphs when Awad changed the subject and started talking about completely different events. About 30 paragraphs down he returns to this subject and does write:
"The attack in Baqouba targeted a police station, and many of the dead and wounded were among the hundreds of Iraqis gathered outside hoping to join the force, police said. The blast also ripped through a passing bus, killing 21."
