18 Kias were killed in Iraq yesterday! Oh the Humanity!
<snip>
Insurgents Sunday attacked a convoy of three trucks hauling cars destined for Iraq's Ministry of the Interior, destroying the vehicles and kidnapping the drivers, Iraqi police told CNN.

The incident took place in al-Souaira about 37 miles (60 km) southeast of Baghdad, around 9 a.m. (1 a.m ET).

The trucks were carrying 18 Kias for the ministry when insurgents hit them with rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire.

2. You and me both...
:shrug:
Now I understand the reason for the "oh the humanity" bit in the OP!
Funny as hell though!

3. Eighteen Kias destroyed?
What it that, something like $2,000 in total damage?
