Easy targets in Iraq
Don’t do it man!
Weddings, funerals and other gatherings are easy targets for suicide bombers.
At least five wedding receptions were attacked during the past year. On Oct. 31, a suicide car bomber hit a wedding party in Baghdad and killed 23 people, including nine children gathered outside the bride’s home.
Despite the violence, the urge to marry remains strong. The Justice Ministry said it recorded 258,250 marriages last year, only 4,295 fewer than in 2004. Figures for this year have not been released.
You may wind up as one of the unlucky ones. 5 out of 258,250 just ain’t worth the risk!
