In Baghdad, Iraq two explosions were taken place. These explosions left 16 people wounded. This happened on Saturday Feb. 5, 2011. It was near the Salaheddin province in Iraq. I believe people should not do this kind of stupid stuff. People have nothing better to do then these attacks? The first explosion involved a car bomb inside a bus station used by Shiite Pilgrims in central Samarra. Shiite is a branch of Islam. They believe Ali as the lawful descendant to Mohammed and refuse the original three caliphs. Samarra is a city about 100 kilometers north of Baghdad. Eleven of those sixteen people were wounded there. Most of them were Shiite pilgrims. The other five people were wounded in the other attack that happened in a roadside bomb that struck a bus carrying pilgrims along a highway close to Balad, which is about 80 kilometers north of the capital. Sunni activists, including al Qaeda in Iraq, have continually targeted Shiite pilgrims since the year 2003. Last month, three bombings occurred in Iraq, which targeted Shiite pilgrims in and around Karbala. That attack killed about 33 people, officials said. These kinds of attacks happen a lot. I don’t know why people do this. Do they enjoy doing explosions, which lead to the death of people or people get wounded. I think there should be more security in those countries. Police should take more action like here in the United States. I’ve heard that police are not even strict there. If the people give the police officers money for not arresting them, they won’t arrest them. Basically these attacks happen because no one is scared of the police there.
