Mosque Targeted… A car bomb exploded near a Shiite mosque in Baghdad Friday, killing eight people and wounding 20 others. The Associated Press reports that the attack took place during midday prayers at Al-Subeih mosque. The blast sent worshippers into panic. Said Abdelallah Farah, who was inside the mosque, “I saw many dead and injured. This is a cowardly and savage act that aims to create conflict among Iraqis.” The bombing was the latest in a string of violence this week that saw an American soldier killed Friday as a roadside bomb exploded near a U.S. Army patrol. According to the AP, 1,564 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003. Here’s another count.
