159 Die in Iraq in an “Exceptional” Day of Violence

HeadlineNov 13, 2006

Sen. McCain’s call for more troops to be sent to Iraq came on a day that at least 159 people died in Iraq. In Baghdad, two suicide bombers killed 35 men who were waiting in line to join Iraq’s police force. In Baquba, 50 bodies were found behind an electrical company. Twenty-five more bodies were found in Baghdad. The Guardian newspaper described Sunday as a day of violence exceptional even by the country’s grim standards. The violence continued this morning when a minibus exploded in eastern Baghdad, killing 20 people and wounding 20 others. At least another 64 Iraqis died on Saturday. Officials in Baghdad announced that around 1,600 bodies were brought to the city morgue last month — the highest tally since July.
