Bombing in Iraq #10


Bombs in Iraq killed at least eight people today, wounding many others. The president blamed the bombing on the U.S. military and ordered them to leave. In the city of Mosul, a roadside bomb killed three soldiers and wounded four others. Down south, a bomb attached to a bike wrapped in a trash bag exploded north of Baghdad killed two people, and wounded at least 13 others, including the mayor. A car bomb was discovered last Sunday and they arrested four people because of suspicions. There was also an attack in Amiriyat al-Fallujah which killed eight people and wounded seventeen people at a police checkpoint. This violence has put Iraq in a rocky state, causing government problems. The Prime Minister is studying the U.S. response in changing the draft security. If Iraq doesn't approve the deal, all military units will cease. The Syrian president said that he thinks the U.S. troops should evacuate Iraq as soon as possible. The president himself said, "The latest American aggression on Syrian territory shows that the presence of American occupation forces constitutes a source of continuous threat to the security of Iraq's neighboring states and a factor of instability for the region." (President Bashar Assad). I agree with his statement and I think that the troops also need to return home.
