I was working in the clinic as usual when I heard two explosions, with very short interval between them. Well, that’s something normal, no problem…about thirty minutes later the phone of one of my female colleagues rang and it was her husband, he said he miraculously made it, he was in the ministry of justice when the explosions happened “it was something that can be described, it was something that I have never seen before, it’s really disgusting and frightening” as he said, despite that he was a military jet pilot who was in duty through the Iranian war and the gulf war.
That’s when we knew about the terrible disgusting terrorist act that took place in the ministry of justice and Baghdad’s province council because of two explosive trucks… then everybody started calling the people he knows in those ministries and people who live near it…then we heard that one of the physicians’ flat has been totally destroyed and his daughter was in the flat and she was seriously injured…I don’t need to tell you the details as you may have already heard it from any news source you follow and as you have may heard that the most recent number of casualties is 139 and more than 800 injured.
But I need to ask some questions that I can’t find satisfying answers to them, I’ll start with; why the sick politicians are killing the people for their political disagreements? Why are they having the power despite that most of the people knows their crimes? When will the Iraqi people stops bleeding to give the politicians more money! Despite they have enough money that could support them and four generations after them like kings? When will this ever ends? What are the checkpoints doing? Why don’t the government removes all the checkpoints and make our lives much more easier, they are basically not doing anything despite annoying people and causing road jams, they are really doing nothing if such explosions takes place, when will they depend on intelligence? Well, sorry for that because THEY are the ones who did it…and finally one thing I want to know, isn’t it the time that the minister of anterior and the minister of defense gives their resignation.
Now I’ll leave you with a number of photos that speaks much better than words.

The BBC reporter I heard on the radio had difficulty finding words to describe the extent of the destruction. Your pictures remind me of the images from the war in Bosnia; it looks as if that part of Baghdad has been the subject of an air attack with high explosive weapons.
It seems that no one is ever held to account for these atrocities, for these crimes that destroy lives and families and hopes.
Yes, it was so horrible.
:(((((((((((((((
Good pictures..
Keep writing, keep letting the world know what's happening. News reports don't do convey the real impact.
Really good photographs and thanks for your report. The focus in the world seems to have shifted to AFPAK (Afghanistan and Pakistan) with a lot of ink devoted in the newspapers to Iran. Having Iraq be stable one way or another is really important to holding the entire Middle East together. I read they'd tried to take down the barricades the US put up and it was too dangerous. The Iraqi government decided to erect them again. As for the US, our troops aren't wanted for help with the Iraqi forces anymore. We're pretty much relegated to staying on base. Moving our stuff out of Iraq has started with some troops being drawn down now. This will continue for months and months.
Is there any information on who the bombers were?
"why the sick politicians are killing the people for their political disagreements?"
I think the conflicts are religious rather than political, although religion and the greed for power are closely linked.
Big explosions like this are typical of the Al Qaeda terrorists, but Hezballah and the Iranian guard have also carried out some major attacks around the world.
Vote for a secular party in the election.
I have a question. Why does the government receive more anger directed at them from the bombs then the ones who exploded them?
I wonder if it is because it is hard to direct anger toward the shadowy unknown figures behind many bombings so it is pointed at the ones who have the thankless task of trying to stop the attacks.
Stopping a determined bomber is almost an impossible task for even effective governments.
