Wave of Bombings and Shootings in Iraq

A wave of bombings swept through Iraq Wednesday, killing at least 50 people and raising fears that al-Qaeda had launched their earlier promised new offensive. The U.S. blamed the wave of bombings on the terror movement. Police reported at least six car bombings around the country Wednesday, an increase of attacks, but still lower than last years. The deadliest attack occurred when a suicide bomber detonated an explosive truck close to a home of Sunni Arab tribal leader near Sinjar. The attack was reported to have killed 10 people and nine wounded. There were five other attacks occurring throughout Iraq on Wednesday killing 40 more people and wounding many others. While US troops were fighting al-Qaeda, one soldier was reported killed. The US military spokesperson announced that the troops would be stepping up efforts and keeping pressure on extremist networks.

American and Iraqi troops are trying their hardest to end this war of terror in Iraq. More and more suicidal bombers are popping up everywhere. Al-Qaeda looks to be stepping up their declaration of war previously announced by Osama bin Laden. The only thing the militants can do is to step up their efforts a little more, like they said they are going to do. Although with the increased terrorism the end of the war might not be as close as many would like. As things start to look like they are dyeing down, more acts of terror keep popping back up.
