Iraqi 'resistance' bombers kill at least 18 Iraqi police men/ Iraqi civilians

Some children also wounded, one of the dead was a 4-year-old girl. Body parts were scattered all over the place so the number of Iraqis killed is hard to tell. Additional a rocket was fired and hit a civilian aircraft. The resistance goes on killing more and more civilians’ everyday.

At least 18 Iraqis have been killed and more than 30 wounded by almost simultaneous suicide bombings of two police stations north of Baghdad. Meanwhile, a civilian plane was hit by a missile as it took off from Baghdad International Airport - it managed to land safely - and a leading Shia cleric narrowly missed being killed by a dud rocket. A four-year-old girl was among three civilians and six police officers killed in the small town of Khan Bani Saad, 20km (12 miles) from Baghdad, when a bomber rammed a vehicle packed with explosives into the police station, according to an “initial” toll from the US military. Minutes later another suicide assailant blew himself up outside the police station in the provincial capital of Baquba further north, killing seven Iraqi police and two civilians, said Colonel Bill MacDonald, spokesman for the US Fourth Infantry Division, which patrols the region. A further five Iraqi police were still missing from that attack, MacDonald said.

Well, military targets would become difficult to hit day by day, because of the beef ups in the security and all, so to keep the insurgence alive, they have to resort to civilian targets.

hitting law enforcement is still symbolic.. they are afterall cooperating with the USA..
