At about midnight on 20 September, a young man got off a white minibus at the entrance to the Shia shrine city and pilgrimage centre of Karbala, southwest of Baghdad. A few minutes later, he pressed a remote control, detonating the explosives he had left in a bag under his seat on the bus.
The bomb killed 12 people and injured a further five: footage shows the bus engulfed in flames and a voice screaming that “people are dying.” Iraqi security sources say that the alleged bomber was swiftly identified from CCTV pictures and was arrested with two other men, whose families hail from the Sunni town of Jurf al-Sakhar. Isis claimed responsibility for the attack.
The bombing made an impact out of proportion to its size because, for the last two years, Iraqi cities have been largely free from the devastating bombings by Isis, the worst of which once killed hundreds of civilians at a time.
These folks are Shia because they don't like deranged Arab Mohummerdudes. This is why I support Persia. Rule by Immams is not natural but a defensive reaction against marauding camel jockies, a 1500 year old problem. I also like Bashar and the AllRighies for the same reason.
I have no idea why Saudis are our allies. The nearest explanation is repub oil deals, probably the stupidest policy around.
