“[…] Car bombs - some 1,293 between 2004 and 2005, according to
researchers at the Brookings Institution - have devastated Iraq like no other
land in history. The most infamous, driven or left by sectarian jihadists,
have targeted Iraqi Shiites in front of their homes, mosques, police
stations, and markets: 125 dead in Hilla (February 28, 2005); 98 in Mussayib
(July 16); 114 in Baghdad (September 14); 102 in Blad (September 29); 50 in
Abu Sayda (November 19); and so on. “Some of the devices have been gigantic, like the stolen fuel-truck
bomb that devastated Mussayib, but what is most extraordinary has been their sheer
frequency - in one 48-hour-period in July 2005 at least 15 suicide car bombs
exploded in or around Baghdad. […]” Excerpt of the book “A
History of the Car Bomb” by Mike Davis. |
