24 Children killed in Baghdad

More tragedy in Baghdad over the weekend:

Quote:
BAGHDAD – Hospital and police officials say 24 children were among the 155 killed in twin suicide blasts that targeted government buildings in Baghdad.

An official at the hospital where the children's bodies were brought says they were on a bus leaving a daycare center next to the Justice Ministry when the attack happened. The bus driver was also killed, and six kids injured.

A local police official confirmed the deaths of the children in Sunday's attack. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity Monday because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

How fucked up in the head would a person have to be to believe that Allah would really want them to do shit like this.

GO YE FORTH AND BLOW UP INNOCENT PEOPLE - AND REMEMBER TO GET SOME CHILDREN!

In this case, I blame extremist religion, a non-chemical "drug".
