Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold

...mere anarchy is loosed upon the world:

Liqaa Abdul-Razzaq, a popular Iraqi TV reporter, was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Baghdad. She was assassinated while returning home from her offices of the local ‘Al-Sharqiya’ TV network, which she had worked for since last year after a long period with the State TV as news conductor during the regime of Saddam Hussein. Two months ago, her husband was killed in analogous and still unclear circumstances. Liqaa Abdul-Razzaq was mother of a 6-year-old boy and just a month ago gave birth to a girl. This assassination is however not the only episode of violence of today in Iraq: in the capital the day in fact began with yet another car-bomb, which exploded at the passage of a US marine convoy. An American soldier and an Iraqi bystander were killed and another 2 soldiers wounded in the explosion. In Buakuba, north-east of Baghdad, three Iraqis were killed and four injured in two separate attacks. In the first, armed men stopped a taxi and shot dead the two police officers and driver onboard, wounding another two. In the second attack, unidentified gunmen opened fire against an Iraqi national guard patrol, but without claiming victims. Local medical sources also report three people killed in Falluja, the rebel city west of Baghdad, for months target of US air strikes. A US incursion shortly before dawn struck a home in the neighbourhood of Joulan. The US claims that Falluja, aside from militants, is also the hideout of members of the terror group headed by the Jordan Al-Zarqawi.
