HeadlineFeb 05, 2007

The Iraqi Interior Ministry is estimating about 1,000 people have been killed throughout Iraq over the past week. On Saturday, 135 people died when a suicide truck bomber blew up a crowded market in a mainly Shiite area of Baghdad. It was the deadliest single bombing of the entire war. Over 300 people were also injured. The blast was so powerful it brought down 10 surrounding buildings.
