About Me

Name:

I am a National Security specialists who currently works in Washington D.C. (insert your own joke here). For myself individual and national sovereignty is sacrosanct, populist, neo-marxist or fascist trends and ideologies despite espousing democratic rhetoric are anything but democratic and represent a threat that must be dealt with. – In addition, democracy must be modeled on the respect for individual liberty, personal sovereignty, with its accompanying political-rights, which when combined with free-market economic principles, represents a good for society. If you have stumbled across this blog and think that you are going to convert me to either respecting or accepting other systems as just different do not waste yours, or more importantly my time.

BAGHDAD, March 28 -- A bomb hidden in the basket of a bicycle exploded Monday, killing seven people on a road south of Baghdad crowded with Shiite pilgrims, police said.

Nine people were wounded in the attack in the Shiite city of Mussayib, about 40 miles southwest of the capital, according to Qais Hamza, police chief of Babil.

Police arrested three suspects, Hamza said.

Thousands of Shiites are on the annual pilgrimage to the holy city of Karbala. Attacks timed to Shiite religious festivals have killed hundreds since public observances of Shiite holidays revived with the ouster of Saddam Hussein's government two years ago.

Also Monday, four men were killed in separate attacks on Iraqi police.

In one, gunmen ambushed a police colonel at the foot of a bridge in the insurgent Baghdad neighborhood of Doura, killing the police officer and his driver, police said.

In the other, a bomb exploded near a police patrol on a bridge, killing a police captain and his driver.
