100 people died in Iraq in one day
The next anniversary of the Arab Socialist Renaissance Party (PASV or Baath) coming to power in Iraq on July 17, 1968 was marked by terrorist attacks against the Shiite population of Iraq. The party overthrown by the Americans was dominated by Sunnis. And on the eve of the anniversary, late on Sunday, a suicide bomber blew up a Shiite cafe in the market of the city of Tukh Khurmat, 210 km north of Baghdad. 26 people were killed, 22 were wounded.A real massacre took place yesterday in the market of the city of Mahmudiya, 30 km south of the capital, which has long been the center of the Shiite-Sunni confrontation. According to one version, a car filled with explosives exploded at the bazaar, according to another, mortar fire covered the market. And then a group of militants with automatic weapons walked through the market, shooting randomly. No one took responsibility for the atrocity. At least 55 Shiites were killed, mostly women and children, and about 60 were injured. It is reported that unknown assailants fired at a Shiite funeral procession. As a sign of protest , deputies of the parliamentary faction led by radical Shiite imam Muqtada al-Sadr left the parliamentary session. In total, about 100 local citizens became victims of violence in Iraq on Monday. In addition, British and Ukrainian soldiers are among the wounded in different parts of Iraq.
