SEVEN Bombs Go Off In Baghdad, 26 Killed...Al Qaeda Ready To Declare Victory?

Barack Hussein Obama lost a war that America had paid dearly to win.  Out of the clutches of victory, only Barack Hussein Obama could turn the minions of al Qaeda loose with his pandering and support loose on Iraq and see to it that the American victory was lost.

Good job Barry ... chalk another victory up on your personal scorecard for jihad.

Bomb blasts kill 26 people in Baghdad


BAGHDAD: Seven bomb explosions killed 26 people and wounded 67 in the Iraqi capital Baghdad on Monday, police and medics said, as security forces battled Sunni Muslim militants around the western cities of Falluja and Ramadi.

The bloodiest attack occurred in mainly Shi'ite Muslim Abu Dsheer district in southern Baghdad, where a car bomb near a crowded market killed seven people and wounded 18.

No group claimed responsibility for the blasts. But Sunni insurgents, some of them linked to al-Qaeda, are widely blamed for a surge in violence in the past year apparently aimed at undermining the Shi'ite-led government and provoking a return to all-out sectarian strife.

Al-Qaeda militants and their local allies seized control of Falluja and parts of Ramadi on January 1, exploiting resentment among minority Sunnis against the government for policies perceived as unfairly penalising their once-dominant community.

Five of Monday's bombs targeted mainly Shi'ite districts of the capital, while two were in mostly Sunni areas.

Sporadic fighting flared around Falluja and Ramadi, where at least one anti-government gunman was killed and two were wounded, police said.
