Suicide bomber attacks Iraq newspaper

[ECH1969]

A suicide car bomber attacked Iraq's largest newspaper, detonating his vehicle inside its fortified compound in downtown Baghdad on Sunday and killing 2 people and wounding 20 others, the executive editor and government officials said.

"The terrorists are trying to stop the media project in Iraq," he said in an interview last month. "We have received many threats from Zarqawi's assistants. We published them in the newspaper." He said the bombing Sunday had also been retaliation for his newspaper's organizing a meeting of Iraqi television and newspaper editors this month to sign a "pledge of honor" to respect the government's reconciliation efforts and to avoid printing or broadcasting inflammatory statements or violent images.

"Tomorrow we will return to work again," the editor said.

2. This just shows how little conviction Ann Coulter has.

These suiciders, they put their cemex where their mouth is. Ann...are you listening? Do you need me to send you a map to the NYT office?
