This bombing?

"... In another posting on the Internet, Ansar al-Sunna said the suicide bomber was a Mosul man who had worked at the base for four months and provided intelligence to the group. The group said the man detonated plastic explosives hidden under his clothes, according to the posting, which was also quoted by ABC.

Ansar al-Sunna, a successor to the radical Ansar al-Islam militia that battled U.S. and Kurdish troops in the north at the beginning of the war, is reportedly based in Mosul. Dominated by Kurds, the group asserted responsibility for two attacks in February in the northern city of Irbil. Those attacks killed more than 100 people when attackers detonated suicide belts at crowded receptions hosted by Kurdish political parties....

The military reported that of the 22 people killed in the Mosul attack, 14 were U.S. service members, four were American civilians working as contractors on the base and three were members of the Iraqi security forces also living on the base. Another victim was described as an "unidentified non-U.S. person." It was not clear whether that person was assumed to be the attacker."

With a 30% unemployment rate sitting on top of the world's supposedly largest supply of oil selling at $60 bbl on the spot market, is it any wonder there are problems in that despotic country?
