90 People Killed, Over 630 Injured in Baghdad Suicide Car Bombs, Charred Bodies and Torn-off Limbs Littered Streets
October 25, 2009 — It seems that the Iraqis are not allowed to live in safe in their own homeland as the rest of the world, as if it is their destiny to keep living in a bad nightmare that deprives them from the simplest human rights: Life. Twin suicide car bombs blasted the justice ministry and a provincial office in Baghdad on Sunday, killing at least 90 people and sparking turmoil in the embattled Iraqi capital.

BAGHDAD — It seems that the Iraqis are not allowed to live in safe in their own homeland as the rest of the world, as if it is their destiny to keep living in a bad nightmare that deprives them from the simplest human rights: Life.
Twin suicide car bombs blasted the justice ministry and a provincial office in Baghdad on Sunday, killing at least 90 people and sparking turmoil in the embattled Iraqi capital.
Around 600 people were wounded in the near-simultaneous attacks at around 10:30 am (0730 GMT), which left streets littered with charred bodies and torn-off limbs.
The blasts, which the government said had Al-Qaeda's "signature", destroyed dozens of cars and shattered water pipes, spewing dirty water into the bloodied streets.
Authorities closed off roads leading to the bomb sites as fire trucks and ambulances struggled through thick traffic to reach the blazing buildings.
One of the attacks occurred at a busy intersection near the justice and municipalities ministries while the other was opposite the nearby Baghdad provincial government offices in Salhiyeh neighbourhood.
At least 90 people were killed and almost 600 injured, according to a tally of tolls from four hospitals in central Baghdad -- Al-Karama, Ibn Nafis, Medical City and Yarmuk.
