U.S. forces blow up bombs planted inside a school in Baghdad

Baghdad, March 7, (VOI) - The Iraqi police said on Wednesday that U.S. forces set off explosives planted inside a primary school in eastern Baghdad after the forces had dismissed all the pupils unharmed.

"We have received reliable intelligence that militiamen planted explosives inside al-Nabaa primary school in Ur neighborhood," the source told the independent news agency voices of Iraq (VOI).

The source added, "Pupils were dismissed unharmed while U.S. forces blew up the bombs."

There were no casualties but the school fence was damaged and some windows were broken in the operation, he added.

1. I just hope they weren't planted by people

who are supposed to be on our side.

4. The neighborhood is in the Sunni area of Baghdad

Not saying it was the Shiites, but it sure wasn't the Sunni insurgents.

2. I hope that the Iraqi police are not implying that the "resistance"

would explode bombs in an elementary school just to make a political point. I am confident that the "bombing civilians is fun and rewarding" contingent would draw the line at killing elementary school students. They focus on more "legitimate" targets like markets, temples, and pilgrimages.

3. I hope they removed them from the building first.

5. The headline implies they didn't

But I have to think that's wrong (just a few broken windows and damaged fence). Or else, they were really small bombs.

6. SHIT More rebuildind!!

7. Boy, the spooks are really busy lately. nt
