10/6/08
At least eight people were killed and 17 injured, including four women from the same family, in attacks yesterday in Baghdad and the restive Diyala province, where another mass grave was uncovered, security and medical officials said. A car bomb, targeting an Iraqi police checkpoint near a shopping center in Baghdad’s Karada district, killed five people, including one policeman, and injured 10, police sources told Deutsche Presse— Agentur. Baghdad has seen a wave of attacks using car bombs in the past two days after a relative period of calm that has seen a decrease in violence in recent months. In the restive Diyala province in central Iraq, two attacks left one person dead and seven people injured, the Voices of Iraq news agency cited a police source as saying.

Baradei Hits Out at Israel Again
10/6/08
The head of the United Nation’s atomic watchdog again hit out at Israel’s willingness to take unilateral action against countries such as Syria, in comments published in a magazine interview yesterday. As well as the buildup of nuclear arms, the increasing penchant of countries to bomb suspected nuclear facilities also posed a growing threat to world peace, IAEA chief Mohamed El-Baradei told news magazine Der Spiegel.“With unilateral military actions, countries are undermining international agreements, and we are at a historic turning point,” said Baradei. He was referring to the Israel bombardment of Syria’s Al-Kibar complex last September.
