Last Throes Watch

Yup, we've got 'em right where we want 'em now:

This is why the problems of a bunch of kids (or not so kids) losing the Roundtable just seems like so much trivia to me. I'm sure to them (and to you) it isn't, but we all filter such things through our own experience.

Insurgents in a car opened fire Monday on a police patrol in the eastern New Baghdad neighborhood of the capital, killing two policemen, police 1st Lt. Ali Abaas said.

In a separate attack in the same neighborhood, police Col. Alaa Hussein was killed near his home late Sunday, Abbas said.

Elsewhere, insurgents Monday gunned downed Maissa Jassim, a worker for the Iraqi Trade Minister, in the southern neighborhood of Dora, Dr. Muhanad Jawad of the Yarmouk hospital said.

Al-Qaida in Iraq reported that one of its "field commanders" had been killed by coalition forces in western Iraq, the terror group purportedly said in a statement posted on a Web site used by militants. The statement did not say when the man, Abi Salih al-Ansar, was killed.

On Sunday, four suicide car bombs killed 22 people, including an attack at the offices of Iraq's electoral commission that killed five election employees and one policeman.

The commission said in a statement that it "affirms its determination to continue the electoral process," including plans for a national referendum on a new constitution and balloting for a new government later this year.

The government also said Sunday that more than 90 people had been killed in a suicide bombing attack the night before near a Shiite mosque in Musayyib, 40 miles south of Baghdad. Hospital officials said more than 150 were injured in the blast.
