Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Over 100 Iraqis Die in Pair of Suicide Attacks

HeadlineFeb 11, 2004

In Iraq, over 100 Iraqis have died over the past day in a series of major suicide bombing attacks that targeted new Iraqi Army and police recruits. This morning at about 7 local time a large car bomb went off outside an army recruiting center in Baghdad. 47 people are believed to have been killed. This comes a day after 54 people died in a suicide bombing attack at a police station south of Baghdad. Also yesterday in Baghdad, four Iraqi police officers were killed in an ambush. The BBC reports this has been one of the bloodiest 24-hour periods since the fall of Baghdad.
