BAGHDAD, Iraq - The attack, in a poor, predominantly Shiite neighborhood of eastern Baghdad, left a wrenching scene of bloodshed, anger and despair Wednesday.

Children's colored slippers, pieces of flesh and shrapnel were strewed around a wide crater in the street. Women wailed and slapped themselves on the chest and face in a ritual of grief as bodies were placed in crude coffins and carried away.

A suicide bomber had steered his vehicle toward a group of children who had crowded around a patrol of U.S. troops and detonated his payload, killing at least 27 people, nearly all of them children, government and hospital officials said. One U.S. soldier was killed.

Several residents said the Americans had been handing out candy when the attack took place. ``They were delivering some sweets and toys to the children, and all of a sudden a car drove toward the U.S. military vehicles and exploded,'' said Basim al-Gaiedi, 45, an engineer who lives in the neighborhood.

But Lt. Col. Clifford Kent, the public-affairs officer for the 3rd Infantry Division, which is responsible for overall security in Baghdad, denied that the soldiers had been distributing candy and toys. He would not disclose the nature of the unit's mission Wednesday.

Residents said U.S. soldiers had passed through the neighborhood earlier in the day issuing warnings through a loudspeaker that the area might be a target of a car bomb.

Kent disputed the residents' accounts and said the military had no knowledge of a planned car bomb attack. ``To say that in that neighborhood, at that time, on this day there was going to be this kind of attack, it's very rare to have pinpoint intelligence like that,'' he said.

The attack caused the highest death toll among children since a similar incident in September when a pair of car bombs killed at least 34 children who were waiting to receive handfuls of candy from U.S. soldiers at the inauguration of a sewage plant in western Baghdad.

Convoys of U.S. soldiers regularly patrol Baghdad's neighborhoods, sometimes as displays of force though also to conduct house searches and arrests. They frequently pause to give sweets and gifts to children as a goodwill gesture.

A representative of the 3rd Infantry Division, Master Sgt. Greg Kaufman, said there was no official policy regarding large crowds of people around patrol vehicles. Asked why the military would allow such gatherings, particularly given the lack of security in Baghdad and the repeated suicide attacks, Kaufman said, ``I really do not have an answer to that one.'' Higher-ranking military officials in Baghdad were not available late Wednesday for comment.

While the Interior Ministry put the death toll at 25, all children, the officer who patrolled the morgue at Kindi Hospital, where most of the dead were taken, had a list of 39 names in his hand, Knight Ridder reported. Some were teenagers, some were as young as 6, he said. Families had claimed the bodies of 25 children; 14 were unrecognizable.

Residents in the neighborhood, called Baghdad al-Jedida, said the death toll could rise. One witness said the blast had destroyed part of a house, killing a family that was eating breakfast in the yard. Another witness said four laborers resting on the side of the road were also killed.

``The car bomber made a deliberate decision to attack one of our vehicles as the soldiers were engaged in a peaceful operation with Iraqi citizens,'' said Maj. Russ Goemaere, a U.S. military official in Baghdad. ``The terrorist undoubtedly saw the children around the Humvee as he attacked.''

The attack came on another day of violence across Iraq and mounting accusations of sectarian attacks.

Can someone please explain to me how these people can be called "insurgents" or anything less than animals and terrorist. I fail to see how blowing up 27 children will make your faction get any support. What rational person can not now see these are not people in the common sense but animals, and animals must be put down lke animals. I volunteer to be the one to pull the trigger on them and could do so without any hesitation. People who do what these terrorist are doing are the lowest form of life and that form of life needs to be exterminated. Period.

well..the lowest forms of life keeps the soil fertile...if you wish to be rational for a bit.
And yes, it is not reasons that drove the man to drive the car into the children surrounded US soldiers. It is pure hatred fertilized by dogmas and fueled by rage catalyzed by the occupation of his land by those who have been insulting his faith...

This is what it usually goes to. We are offending them so that's the reason they blow up people. That is the most pathetic arguement I have seen.

...and boltered by mindless sheep who make excuses for the bacteria's targeting of kids.


The goal of any force involved in war is to deny the enemy the ability to continue the fight. Apparently, to the bacteria, children eating candy and a family eating breakfast are the enemy whose ability to continue the fight must be stopped.

The bacteria have shown time and time again that the people of Iraq are none of their concern, they will kill a Moslem just as easily as a Coalition soldier. People try to find reason for the acts of the bacteria, some way to comprehend such monumental indifference to human life. What they are missing is that there is no comprehension or reason behind the attacks. It is not hatred that motivates the bacteria to see a group of kids as a target of opportunity. It is merely apathy.

It never fails to amaze me how some imbiciles will actually try and make excuses for these vermin who intentionally kill innocent children. And the odds are very high that the bomber wasn't an Iraqi but a terrorist from a neighboring nation, therefore it isn't his country that is currently occupied. But maybe it should be.

Acts like these can't be rationalized or justified in any sane manner by any sane person.

So if a Child molester tries to entice your child into a car, you are going to kill the child?  That makes no sense.

since when is not believing the exact same thing considered an insult. It takes quite a stretch of the imagination to draw that corollary. Or are the children insulting his faith by accepting a kind gesture from someone who does not believe exactly the same way?

I think you may have meant well in your statement, but it definitely comes off as apologetic for the bomber with that last phrase.

Once again the innocent suffers at the hands of these insufferable pigs! Mythgarr for you to even try to justify what they are doing is......beyond description! I am wary of people like you. Keep burying your head in the sand until something comes out and bite it and then you wonder, what, why I didn't know....

Dogs won't even do this shit. Have you ever been to a park and seen a small dog chase a big dog around? You see it all the time, small dogs can consistently harass large dogs without trouble. You know why? The big dog's brain is tricked into thinking the small dog is a puppy, so it won't hurt it. Even DOGS have psychological trouble hurting puppies. These guys are lower than animals.

I find the killing of children dispicable. And while we all find it diplorable, dispicable, and just plain WRONG. I'd bet the @hole that did it was thinking that these innocent children were going to become like those "big mean americans" and thought he was "saving" those children by sending them to his god before the "harm of becomeing westernized" could be done.

It's sick, wicked and down right evil, and just like a pedifile that thinks he is "loving" children, even though he is destroying their childhoods, ability to trust and sometimes even love. In their sick, twisted minds they somehow think they are right.

Evil demon spawn is all they are and should be tied to stakes and left to the desert animals. Anyone with that little regard for the innocent should be in my opinion.

You forget what a terrorist is. A terrorist doesn't strike at the enemy but at the people and things the enemy loves. This is psychological warfare. They hope that by killing the children the Iraqi people will be less likely to help the US soldiers. It’s a despicable way to fight and I find it repulsive.

The problem is also that the only way to hurt a terrorist like that is not by killing or hurting them because they are eager to jump to their deaths but to use their tactics and go after their families. That’s why this will drag on for a long time. We are basically too civilized to use tactics that work on them.
