Reported security incidents
Baghdad:
#1: Insurgents unleashed attacks across Baghdad on Tuesday night, setting off more than a dozen coordinated bombs. At least 63 people were killed and about 285 were wounded, and the local police said they were under orders to enforce an emergency curfew — the first such measure in years.
Eleven car bombs rocked Shiite neighbourhoods of Baghad yester-day killing at least 63 people amid growing concern that Sunni militants are taking advantage of a persistent power vacuum seven months after an inconclusive general election. “Sixty-three people were killed and 285 wounded in 11 car bombings. All of the explosions happened at the same time,” an Interior Ministry official said.
“The blasts occurred in Sadr City in front of al-Nasr police station, in al-Eishreen street in al-Bayaa, in the jewelry market in al-Jihad neighborhood, Sabah al-Khayat square in Ur neighborhood in al-Shaab region, Abu Dashier in al-Dour region, near al-Ameer restaurant in al-Husseiniya region, near a bank in al-Kariyaat, near Shiite Qamar Bani Hashem mosque in Jakouk region, near a restaurant in al-Shuaala region, al-Rahmaniya, al-Kamaliya, al-Ameen al-Thaniya region in Baghdad al-Jadieda, al-Arouba square in al-Kadhimiya and near al-Nedaa mosque in al-Wazieriya,” the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

Mosul:
#1: Four soldiers and three policemen were wounded in two separate explosions in central and eastern Mosul on Tuesday, a military source said. “A roadside bomb went off Tuesday evening (Nov. 2) targeting an army vehicle patrol in Adan neighborhood, eastern Mosul, injuring four soldiers,” the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. “An explosive charge was detonated near a police patrol in al-Kourniesh street, central Mosul, wounding three cops,” the source added.

Afghanistan: "The Forgotten War"
#1: TWO Australian special forces soldiers were slightly wounded in Afghanistan last week after the vehicles they were travelling in struck improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in two separate incidents. One of the soldiers suffered a lower back injury and the other suffered a minor ankle injury on Thursday, October 28. Both soldiers were conducting operations with the Provincial Response Company (PRC) in Northern Kandahar, a Defence spokesman said on Wednesday.
#2: Three Afghan policemen were killed in the southern province of Helmand on Tuesday when their vehicle was blown up by a roadside bomb in Nawa district, Mohammad Ismail, the deputy provincial police chief, said Wednesday. Five more police forces were injured in the blast, he said.
#3: Despite assuring Pakistan of stopping further intrusions into its territory, NATO aircraft once again breached the country's airspace close to the Afghan border. According to the Daily Times, NATO helicopters violated Pakistan's border limits in the areas of Burkha and Kharlacha of the Kurram Agency. The helicopters entered about 600 meters inside Pakistani airspace, and after flying in the area for 10 minutes they returned back to Spin Boldak area in Afghanistan to their airbase.
#4: A suicide bombing attack on a military checkpoint in Khost province east of Afghanistan occurred on Wednesday, casualties feared, an official said.
#5: Five insurgents were killed while trying to plant a roadside bomb in Maidan Wardak province, west of Kabul, a provincial official said.

The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) earlier said more than 15 insurgents had been killed. The Taliban have described the reported losses as propaganda.

oh, what a bloody evil mess the US has created in Iraq....
It seems Iraqis are once again looking into the abyss.
"The revelation came in Mr Bush's memoirs, Decision Points, in which he wrote of errors during the Iraq campaign, and the failure to find WMDs there, despite intelligence reports suggesting otherwise.
"No one was more shocked or angry than I was when we didn't find the weapons. I had a sickening feeling every time I thought about it. I still do," he wrote."
It is, of course, a lie to suggest that intelligence sources suggested otherwise. I figured it all out, at home, by myself, with a six year old computer and a dial-up internet connection. Millions more did the same.
But I think it is interesting that Bush has a sickening feeling when he thinks about Iraq. I get a sickening feeling too. However, if I had caused this much violence and murder and destruction of another country that never hurt my own country, I would be doing more than feeling sick. I would commit suicide immediately.
Bush, being a coward and with little morality, will not do that.

The attack, claimed by an al-Qaida-linked organization, was the deadliest recorded against Iraq's Christians since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion unleashed a wave of violence against them.

I did not know that Iraq had a princess. Loads of new photos on my blog, Faces of Grief. Really difficult to see so much suffering of the Iraqi people, thanks to US evil people, like Bush and thewiz.
