As more information about the massive car bombing in Baghdad this Sunday the death toll continues to rise. At 10:30 on Sunday morning two twin car bombs were set off in succession to one another. The targets of the attack were the governorate building, the other the justice ministry both were severely damaged. Current numbers have 160 killed and at least 540 people wounded in the attacks.
This attack in Iraq is horrible news for the Iraqi people as they try and gain a greater sense of stability in the country. The attacks occurred in Baghdad in the supposed safe zone of the capital. The attacks goals are thought to be motivated by the chance to derail the upcoming election in the country. I feel that this was a speed bump in the road to stability in Iraq I think this was a minor step back. But I also feel that now some Iraqis have tasted the fruits of freedom and are not willing to go back to the form of government the terrorists are trying to achieve. The people of Iraq are going to stay strong and work towards gaining more freedom and choice. Although it is terribly sad to have to pay such a large price for these basic human rights hopefully it will only get better.
