Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about war and peace, democracy, the climate catastrophe, and economic and racial justice, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Iraq: Car Bomb in Tikrit Kills 7 Police

HeadlineJan 11, 2005

A car bomb has killed seven policemen in Saddam Hussein’s hometown of Tikrit. Eight other officers were wounded in the blast. Meanwhile, gunmen shot dead eight people in a minibus south of Baghdad. Officials said it was not clear who was in the bus. In the southern city of Basra, suicide bombers attacked the building housing the Interior Ministry and a police station, wounding 5 police officers. At dawn on Tuesday, an explosion tore through a gas pipeline between the northern city of Kirkuk and a refinery near Tikrit. An official with the Northern Oil Company said the pipeline was destroyed and would take days to repair.
