HeadlineJan 02, 2008

In Iraq, thirty people died in Baghdad on Tuesday when a suicide bomber detonated a bomb inside a home where dozens of mourners had gathered to pay tribute to a man who recently died in a car bombing. It was the deadliest attack in Baghdad in months. The Iraqi Ministry of Health is reporting at least 16,000 Iraqi civilians died in 2007. 899 U.S. troops also died last year, making 2007 the deadliest year for the U.S. military since the 2003 invasion.
