According to local authorities two car bombs exploded simultaneously. The Iraqi Interior Ministry confirmed that 19 people were killed.
Earlier Monday a suicide bomber killed at least four people in an attack that targeted the office of the TV station Al Arabiya in Baghdad.
Iraqi authorities lifted preparedness against rebel attacks after the election 7 March gave no clear winner. The fight to bring the country’s next prime minister has come out in time, and authorities have warned of a growing number of attacks by insurgents because of this.
Iraq still without a new government after elections three months ago did not give a clear victory. Neither the acting prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, or Iyad Allawi, the election winner, has managed to establish a coalition government.
Many fear that this causes the vacuum, will provide greater scope for more chaos and several bomb attacks in the country. After the election in March over 300 people have been killed by suicide attack in Iraq.
It was introduced strict security measures to protect thousands of pilgrims, who visit the holy Shi’ite city of Kerbala for their religious traditions, At least 19 people were killed and 47 wounded in two bomb explosions in the attack
Although the violence in Iraq so far this year has been lower than in previous years, it has almost become a habit of bombing attacks against Shiite Muslim pilgrims, most of the leaders in Iraq say that the government provide security and this could be recognize by people visiting the holly city ,but if we look to the attacks today and More than forty people were killed and about a hundred wounded in a suicide attack against pilgrims in Baghdad on Shia Muslim pilgrims were on their way to visit the tomb of Imam Moussa al-Khadim on the beginning of this month ,make us doubts their words and feel that Iraq is still in a political and security vacuum.
U.S. is scheduled out of Iraq next year, but the political vacuum in the country could easily lead to a postponement.
Ali al-Sudany, head of Iraqi Centre for Strategic Studies in Baghdad, has previously said to the class struggle that the issue is not whether Americans are or not. He does not believe that the U.S. will pull out any time, because “it is not in their interest.” United States plans to keep the base in Baghdad, where 20,000 soldiers are permanently stationed.
- The problem is the corrupt Iraqi politicians, as part of compromise across Iraq ernes interests, as thanks for help from the Americans, he said to the class struggle.
He said it is on an internal power struggle.
- Every politician has his own militia, and “all spying on everyone,” he said.
Despite a decline in ethnic violence in Iraq, compared with last year, it seems that the violence will increase in time towards an eventual withdrawal, said Nabil Mohammed Salim, a professor at the University of Baghdad, before the class struggle.
Americans have the last few years included the Sunni Muslims in al-Sawha militias, and this succeeded in reducing violence in the country. Goodwill among Sunnis to form such groups, because, according to Salim an intense desire to improve the security situation.
- If-Sahwa militias would find out that they had been abused by Americans or others, or that they are left without a piece of the action, it becomes a big problem. Then they will be a much better trained, equipped and organized opposition group in the country he declares for class struggle.
The failure of Iraqi government to recognize democracy and ignore the people votes lead to their struggle to form a government ,in the same time they agree on paying the new elected parliament members their first pay check for doing nothing for past months
Iraq will face more violence due its leader loyalty to their self’s and failure to do any service to the people ,they can not protect the people who voted for them to provide them strict security measures to protect thousands of pilgrims, Such pilgrimages were banned under Saddam’s time, and since the U.S. invasion of the country in 2003 been the target of hundreds of thousands of pilgrims every year, they could not protect their own people ,so what is the use of their existence?
