Al-Qaeda Live Tweet Attack On Police Station, Mall In Kirkuk, Iraq, Up To 70 Injured

Al Qaeda had a twitter account live tweeting the attack. We will not be linking to the account to give them any publicity. Despite requests to shut down the account, Twitter has not deleted the account as of this writing. The attack in the area is still ongoing and they are still tweeting. They are apparently holed up in the shopping mall.

There is video of the part of the attack. Warning in advance for graphic nature of violence.The camera crew is on the run with the police officers defending the police station.

Kurdish anti-terror forces deployed in Kirkuk a few hours ago to eliminate Al Qaeda terrorists who had overrun a mall

BAGHDAD: Iraqi authorities say insurgents have attacked a security headquarters in a northern city, killing four people.

Police officials say the assault on Wednesday took place when a car bomb exploded at the gate of the Police Intelligence Department in the religiously-mixed city of Kirkuk. Later, suicide bomber entered the building and set off his explosive belt among police members.

A gunbattle between attackers and security forces erupted immediately after the bombings, said police. They said another 46 people were wounded.

Hospital officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to media, confirmed the casualty figure.

Wednesday’s attack came only one day after a similar assault on a mayor’s office in the Sunni town of Tarmiyah that left 10 people dead.

Yeah, this would belong in another forum except for the fact that libs keep telling us how there's no al Qaeda in Iraq. Now or ever.

Funny. I bet there's some Kurds that might not agree

Christmas Day bombings in Iraq's capital kill 37
December 25, 2013 - — Militants in Iraq targeted Christians in three separate Christmas Day bombings in Baghdad, killing at least 37 people, officials said Wednesday.

In one attack, a car bomb went off near a church in the capital's southern Dora neighborhood, killing at least 26 people and wounding 38, a police officer said. Earlier, two bombs ripped through a nearby outdoor market simultaneously in the Christian section of Athorien, killing 11 people and wounding 21, the officer said. The Iraq-based leader of the Chaldean Catholic Church, Louis Sako, said the parked car bomb exploded after Christmas Mass and that none of the worshippers were hurt. Sako said he didn't believe the church was the target.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, but Iraq's dwindling Christian community, which is estimated to number about 400,000 to 600,000 people, often has been targeted by al-Qaida and other insurgents who see the Christians as heretics. The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad condemned the attacks in a statement. "The Christian community in Iraq has suffered deliberate and senseless targeting by terrorists for many years, as have many other innocent Iraqis," the statement read. "The United States abhors all such attacks and is committed to its partnership with the government of Iraq to combat the scourge of terrorism."

Along with Christians, other targets include civilians in restaurants, cafes or crowded public areas, as well as Shiites and members of the Iraqi security forces, attacked in an attempt to undermine confidence in the Shiite-led government and stir up Iraq's already simmering sectarian tensions. A medical official confirmed the casualty figures. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to the media.

Wednesday's bombings came amid a massive military operation in Iraq's western desert as authorities try to hunt down insurgents who have stepped up attacks across Iraq in the past months, sending violence to levels not seen since 2008. The Christmas Day attacks brought the total number of people killed so far this month in Iraq to 441. According to United Nations estimates, more than 8,000 people have been killed since the start of the year.

Really, you know absolutely nothing about the inner workings of anything, especially a leftie's brain. It was CLEARLY published in 2001 after 9/11 that Al Queda had cells everywhere:

Al-Qaeda | Mapping Militant Organizations
Geographical Locations

""""Al-Qaeda has suspected cells in more than 100 different countries. Notably, cells have been broken up in the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Uganda, Somalia, Pakistan, Albania, Germany, Spain, and elsewhere. The core organization and leadership of AQ, however, is based in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Particularly strong allied and/or affiliated groups can be found in Uzbekistan, Somalia, Mali, Egypt, Iraq, the Philippines, and Yemen.""""

But Bush and Cheney CHERRY-PICKED Iraq. Got it now, Cletus?

Thanks for corroborating one more time that the war in Iraq was a total waste of over 4500 lives, 45,000 limbs from IEDs and over $3,000,000,000,000 in taxpayer money.

Iraq was a stable democracy when Bush left office. Obama fucked up the status of forces agreement and allowed AQ back in, infiltrating from Iran and Syria.
Yeah, everything is Bush's fault. It's like Obama never won election here.

"December 7 - As required by UN Security Council Resolution 1441, Iraq files a 12,000 page weapons declaration with the U.N. Security Council. Although it is supposed to be a complete declaration, it is seen as incomplete by the Security Council and weapons inspectors."

Iraq was a stable democracy when Bush left office.

That's why they had two successful elections.

 

[U2Edge]

The new elections will be in April 2014. I think Nura Al Maliki will win for a third time. He has been the leader of Iraq since 2006.

Honest question. Why do you have to kill each other?

Now I don't want a pile on. I'm asking honestly. Sunni vs Shiite to me is so much like the Protestants vs the Catholics in Ireland.

I don't understand this Sunni Man. Sigh. Maybe one day we will talk about it. But I just don't understand it.

 

[tinydancer]

The new elections will be in April 2014. I think Nura Al Maliki will win for a third time. He has been the leader of Iraq since 2006.

Do you think he can pull it off? I hope that he can. He's a peace maker.

I think he can. The opposition is too fractured to put someone in a position that could beat him at this time. That's why some Iraqi parliament members tried to pass a law to prevent Maliki from running for a third term. Iraq's supreme court threw it out. Said it was unconstitutional.

They weren't there until after George Dumbya Boooosh, the Cross Eyed War Monkey, stupidly invaded Iraq, killing thousands needlessly, wasting trillions, and giving iraq a pro-Iran government.

You'd think the 2006 loss of Congress, and the two Presidential losses in 2008 and 2012 would have conservatives learning a lesson from their Iraq mistake, but that's obviously not what's happened. Conservatives remain oafishly belligerent and clearly haven't learned a thing.

Obviously many people here would still like to see 28 million people enslaved, and if Saddam still in power another 2.9 million children starved simply because
Saddam wanted to add to his 91 palaces!
These same people won't believe that Iraq's GDP has increased 1,760% since Saddam was removed!
These same people are the ones that complain that freeing 28 million was not necessary!
SAD!

Sorry, but removing Saddam was not a bad thing, it was good for the world.

It was also good for Bush, 18 months after Saddam was removed from power, the American people re-elected George Bush with the first majority in the popular vote since 1988!
