Iraqi bomb attacks

A new wave of bomb attacks on Sunday in the western outskirts of Baghdad and western part of the country targeted the government-backed anti-al-Qaida paramilitary groups killed 51 and wounded some 50 others, the police said.

The deadliest attack took place in the morning when a suicide bomber blew up his explosive vest among a crowd of Awakening Council members, or Sahwa in Arabic, who lined up to collect their salaries in Balasim village in al-Radwaniyah area.

The blast killed 43 and wounded some 40 others, most of them were Sahwa members and several others were Iraqi army soldiers.

Another suicide attack occurred at about local time 10:30 a.m. (0730 GMT) in the city of al-Qaim in the western province of Anbar, some 330 km west of Baghdad, killing four Sahwa leaders who were holding a meeting at their headquarters in the city and wounding seven others.

The bomber, disguised in police uniform, shot the guards at the entrance of the headquarters and then blew himself up.

The guards fired back but the bomber managed to hit the building which is close to the entrance and the powerful blast destroyed part of the headquarters building, including the hall of the meeting, killing the four leaders inside.

In the afternoon, three Iraqi soldiers were killed and three others were wounded by multiple explosions when they were trying to defuse bombs planted in the house of a former Awakening Council group member in a village in Abu Ghraib area west of Baghdad.

In a separate incident, Amer al-Timimi, a former Awakening Council group member, was killed when a magnetic bomb attached to his car went off in Abu Ghraib area in the afternoon.

Timimi is the brother of Abu Azzam al-Timimi, official in charge of the Awakening Council group in the once al-Qaida strongholds of Abu Ghraib and the nearby al-Amiriya areas.

Abu Azzam blamed the Iraqi government for the attacks that targeted his brother and Sahwa fighters, saying the government neglected the Sahwa groups and its security forces are not capable of taking over security.

"The government prevent us from securing our areas and handed over the security control to the police and the army, but they are infiltrated by various militias and not capable of providing security," Abu Azzam told Xinhua.

"Now we see attacks come back after the government forces took over the security file," he said.

The Awakening Council group consists of armed groups, including some powerful anti-U.S. Sunni insurgent groups, who fought the al-Qaida network after the latter exercised indiscriminate killings against both Shiite and Sunni Muslim communities.

The latest spate of attacks shed light on the challenges that the fragile Iraqi security forces are going to face after the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the country according to the security agreement signed between Baghdad and Washington late in 2008.

I still love you

Posted by madem | 1 Jun, 2010

I would like to forget that you can not do .....

In fact, you are not perfect have no substitute,

You always do not know what I was thinking

I do not know why because a small

Can be happy all day

I do not know why because the word

And sad for many days

I do not understand the caprice

My tantrums

I hate come from?

Why do I always have so much temper

Always so preoccupied with

Always so naive

Actually, all all

Love you just because

All your heart

You can live in a world without me

I can only live in a sky only you

Who moved my first love

Who I am in love with a person who does not love me

So where in this game

I am destined to be losers

But I was hopelessly in love with you,

Even if you do not mind my location

However, you know?

Most fortunate in this life is to know you, the greatest misfortune is not have you, but you have not met the first two, as I so love you.

At the wrong time is a case of injury on the person, at the right time to encounter the wrong person is a sigh, at the right time people encounter on a lifetime of happiness, you'll be happy right?

If love you is wrong, I prefer same mistake again. Choose your love, then love your choice.

Love you, but can not you stay together, which is a pain, so you do not know the outcome, this is a Wu Nai, but for the moment to have you, but for this life can be with you!

Separation does not necessarily mean that no longer meet each other, no communication does not necessarily mean forgotten, because your happiness and joy, will I have to look forward to. Do I forget, let me take your heart the only site I, right?

Love you, have to seeding the, so hard! Love you have to furtively, tired! Love you have made him a broken heart, Haocan! But they willingly, silly!

Think you can not tell my heart there's pain, you know? I can feel your pain because you are in my heart, I do not know the distance you okay?

Love you very much afraid of tomorrow, everything will change, whether you will be vulnerable to any minor injuries.

If one day, when you think of anyone who loved you, that there must be me, if one day, no one loves you, then I must be dead.

Some people, some feelings, missed once, might have the wrong wrong this whole life.

If the loser can have this love go on

I am willing to be a loser

Then,

This has been love, and even if you do not end, I still love you .......

No regrets

So discouraged ....
