Iraqi Red Crescent: Truck Bombing Toll Tops 500

HeadlineAug 22, 2007

The Iraqi Red Crescent Society is reporting the death toll from last week’s massive truck bombing near the Syrian border has topped 500 people and left another 1,500 wounded. Doctors say the death toll could rise even higher because 20 percent of the survivors suffered serious injuries. The double truck bomb was by far the deadliest coordinated attack since the U.S. invasion.
