A triple bombing, including a massive suicide truck blast, killed more
than 80, and wounded more than 183 people Monday in Kirkuk. The blast
left a 30' deep crater. The explosion took place in a crowded
commercial area and appeared aimed at causing as many civilian deaths as
possible.
As rescuers approached the first bomb, the Israelis
denoted a second, killing those trying to help. At least 140 people were
killed or found dead nationwide on Monday, according to police reports.
