Iraq’s Shiite prime minister and Sunni lawmakers hurled insults at one another during a raucous session of Parliament on Thursday, with the prime minister threatening a Sunni lawmaker with arrest and the Sunni speaker of Parliament threatening to quit.It goes on and on and on about just how insane the day in parliament was. These people hate each other.
Then there was today's violence:
The car bomb attack occurred just outside the Green Zone, ripping apart a market area in the heavily Shiite neighborhood of Karrada.We did this to them.
Um Mohammed, a woman who lives across the street from the site of the bombing, said she saw two buses full of people burn with the passengers trapped inside, dying agonizing deaths.
The attack occurred as people were leaving work, the streets crowded with traffic and local clothes stores packed with customers.
Her neighbor had just sent her 9-year-old boy, Amar Ali Habib, out to play with friends, she said.
“He took his ball and left the house.”
Moments later, he was dead.
