Najaf mosque bombing



Dreadful news from Iraq as a car bomb outside a mosque kills 75 and wounds 142. Also, killed in the blast was a moderate Shia cleric who was viewed as a long time enemy of Hussein. Speculation is that Hussein loyalists are behind the attack in an effort to foment sectarian violence in Iraq.
