In the Sunni Muslim Adhamiya district of Baghdad, there are families that have just been torn apart by sudden deaths due to bombings that occurred on Sunday. One of the bombs was housed in a parked car, among civilians, bystanders, women, men, children, and other people completely unaware of its existence. This particular bomb killed five people and wounded a total of fifteen. The second one was slyly attached to a motorcycle, once again among the innocent public of people and families. It killed three and wounded a total of fourteen. So all in one day, eight people were killed and twenty nine were wounded from these bombings, acts of terrorism as we should call them technically. Police said that they bear the resemblence to being brought on from al Qaeda, or another Sunni Islamist insurgent group. Families in Baghdad must live in fear on a daily basis anytime they leave their homes. Its really sad to continue to hear dreadful stories like this ..... still. They say that violence has gradually fallen, gotten fewer and far between. But, they unfortunately still receive violent acts of terrorism randomly and unexpectedly like these two bombings, hopefully one day it will all diminish away into the past.
