War On Women-Iraq

It does not matter who did this, it was done by men against women. It was a deliberate attempt to intimidate women from being active in public life. So much for the liberation of women in Iraq. So much for Bush's surge, all it has produced is a surge of ethnic cleansing and attacks on women. Foward to the past, backwards to the future.

Scores killed in Baghdad university

The bombs were exploded as students and staff left the university [AFP] Nuri al-Maliki, the Iraqi prime minister, has said "terrorists and Saddamists" were behind the bombing at al-Mustansiriya University. At least 65 people were killed when a car and a suicide bomber exploded outside the University on Tuesday. More than 100 people were injured in the blast, mostly students and staff leaving the university. Al-Maliki said: "They [those responsible] carried out an ugly crime against humanity targeting the innocent students of Al-Mustansiriya University." An official at the university said: "The majority of those killed [in the explosion] are female students who were on their way home."
