"Car Bomb Explosion Kills 7 in Baghdad"

ALL HELL IS BREAKING OUT OVER THERE!


BAGHDAD, Iraq - A car bomb exploded in a business district of central Baghdad on Tuesday morning, and a police officer said at least seven people were killed and 16 wounded.

The blast, which occurred near a cinema, sent a huge plume of black smoke into the sky. An Associated Press reporter at the scene saw rescue workers carrying bloodied bodies away on stretchers.

A police officer with the Interior Ministry said on condition of anonymity that at least seven people were killed and 16 wounded by a suicide car bomb that exploded just as a U.S. military convoy of Humvees and armored vehicles was passing.

The U.S. military confirmed a car bomb attack in the area but provided no other details.

does US (mainstream) news ever cover the deaths caused by colation forces, going on our news (even the public broadcasters) you'd think the only killing happening in Iraq is that carried out by "insurgents"
