"I don't know what happened to the hoopla surrounding the surge" It's going well; not. Explosion rocks Iraqi parliament By QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA, Associated Press Writer BAGHDAD - A bomb rocked Iraq's parliament building in the heavily fortified Green Zone Thursday, killing at least two lawmakers in a stunning security breach in the third month of a U.S.-Iraqi crackdown on violence in the capital, officials said. At least four other people were wounded in the blast, which shook a cafeteria while several lawmakers were eating lunch, initial media reports said. Mohammed Awad, a member of the Sunni National Dialogue Front, was killed in the blast, said Saleh al-Mutlaq, the leader of the party, which holds 11 seats in Iraq's legislature. Another female Sunni lawmaker from the same list was wounded, he said.
