Mosul - Guerrillas fired rocket-propelled grenades at Iraqis queuing outside an army recruitment centre in the northern city of Mosul on Saturday, wounding 17 people in the second such attack in a month.

"Unidentified assailants fired rocket-propelled grenades at a line of civilians waiting at the gate of the recruiting centre to get jobs in the new Iraqi army," army Captain Ahmad al-Deen said.

"Sixteen civilians have been wounded, as well as one security guard."

Guards said the attackers fired the grenades from a car before driving away.

1. Hate to say it, but these Iraqis are no slouches when it comes to being

a resistance army...

...I read that less that 10% of Iraqis hired by the U.S. actually show up because they're afraid of repercussions. Not the greatest way to win over the populace, but a great way to make things really difficult for an occupying force.
