Iraq bombers kill 24, 16 of them in cafe

Article from The News: International.
On Monday, 24 people in Iraq were killed, with 16 of them being in a suicide attack in a cafe north of Baghdad. There were also other bombings which hit a football field and a market. Last week, Ramadan ended, which meant that many Iraqis went to cafes after breaking the fast. This Ramadan was one of the deadliest for Iraq; it killed more than 800 people.
The statistics show that:
  • Balad: wounding more than 35 people
  • Muqdadiyah: bomb exploded near a football field, killing 4 and wounding 14, 3 of which were children
  • Baquba: bomb exploded in market, killing 4 and wounding 20
  • The attacks came one day after al Qaeda claimed attacks which killed more than 70 people. It also came weeks after assaults on prisons near Baghdad (also claimed by al Quaeda front group). With all the violence lately, in total, there have been 3,404 deaths because of attacks in Iraq since the beginning of the year. On average, there are 15 deaths every day.

    Like I said in another article before, the world seems to be an extremely dangerous place. Although America may seem safe today, doesn't mean that enemies are planning something tomorrow.
