-- Mosul, Iraq -- At least 175 people have been killed in a series of suicide bomb attacks in northern Iraq, Iraq's military says.Just a bunch of filthy infidels, right?
The blasts apparently targeted a Kurdish religious minority, the Yazidi sect, near Mosul. At least four blasts hit areas which house the community.
What a brilliant plan too. Unlike going after soldiers, these poor villagers don't have weapons and can't shoot back.
Local emergency services officials tell NPR — unofficially — that as many as 500 could be wounded and that the toll could rise.Onward brave jihadis.
"This is a terrorist act and the people targeted are poor Yazidis who have nothing to do with the armed conflict," said Dhakil Qassim, mayor of Sinjar, a town near where the attacks occurred.
