Kadhimiya
I was drinking coffee this morning when three large explosions hit up the river. I went into the TOC and heard on the net the Kadhimiya mosque was bombed with dozens killed.
It's upsetting-- this happened as people were simply marching in a procession to the mosque.
We saw people marching through Adhamiya last night, peacefully on their way across the river. Karbala was hit too. Reports are coming out on local radio saying that coalition forces sponsored these attacks. The QRF that went to the scene in Kadhimiya was attacked by the crowd. Not good at all.
Everybody is gearing up for more violence. I'm laying low.
From Petra:
I´m glad you stay inside, the news footage of American soldiers being attacked with rocks from the angry crowd at the mosque in Bagdad is not pretty... the news says 60 dead in Bagdad and another 60 in Karbala.
