Sunday's bloodbath began at dusk, when a car bomb went off in the area and militants wearing suicide vests and armed with grenades attacked the Iraqi stock exchange.Just wondering... how many innocent civilians do you have to kill, before you make the leap from "militant" to bloodthirsty terrorist?
The car bombing and the attack on the stock exchange, in which only two guards were injured, may have been an attempt by the militants to divert attention from their real target — the nearby church in an upscale Baghdad neighborhood.
