Suicide bomber kills six near Iraqi oil ministry
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/GEO618548.htm

BAGHDAD, Sept 26 (Reuters) - A suicide bomber drove a car into a bus carrying employees of Iraq's oil ministry on Monday, killing at least six people and wounding 14, police said.

The bombing near the ministry was the bloodiest attack on Iraq's energy industry since insurgents began blowing up pipelines and killing oil officials after the fall of Saddam Hussein in April 2003.

"We heard the blast. They died," a dazed survivor told Reuters Television, standing in a hospital as victims of the blast were wheeled in on stretchers.

He said the bus was carrying workers for a state oil exploration company.

I guess the message here is pretty obvious.
