Terrorists kill more innocent civilians.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A suicide car bomb exploded on a busy downtown boulevard in Baqouba on Wednesday, shredding a bus full of passengers and nearby shops and killing at least 68 people — almost all Iraqi civilians — in one of the deadliest single insurgent attacks since the U.S. invasion.


Dozens of burned bodies lay strewn across the street and piled on curbsides, and vehicles, fruit stalls and shops were turned into a bloody tangle of twisted metal after the blast, which targeted Iraqis lined up outside a police recruiting station.

“These were all innocent Iraqis, there were no Americans,” one angry man shouted as Iraqis tried to cover the dead with pieces of cardboard.
