Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Iraqi Resistance Carry Out Attacks

HeadlineMay 06, 2005

Iraqi resistance fighters killed at least 30 people over the past 24 hours in a string of attacks across the country, capping a bloody week that has left an estimated 250 dead since the country’s new government took power. Earlier today, a suicide car bomber blew up his vehicle next to a minibus taking policemen to work in Tikrit. The blast killed seven policemen and wounding several others. On Thursday, a series of bomb blasts and ambushes in Baghdad killed at least 24 people in the capital. The previous day, a suicide bomb in the northern town of Erbil killed as many as 60 people, and a car bomb in Baghdad killed nine Iraqi soldiers.
