BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Bombs across Iraq killed fourteen people on Tuesday, police said, including a child hit by a blast outside his primary school in the north of the country.

Pupils were leaving the school after finishing their classes when the bomb placed in a cart in the northern city of Mosul was detonated, killing four people and wounding 12.

Some school pupils were among the wounded. The blast also killed a two-year-old girl and two adults in an adjacent market.

4. K&R I don't know how the article can claim that the violence has lessened.

It seems to me we're hearing about more killings rather consistently. Maybe they weren't telling us the totals when it was REALLY bad...? If we pay more of the militants not to kill, that might work! :sarcasm:

5. When someone attacks children they prove that they are the

lowest life form on Earth with no right to expect and understanding, sympathy, or mercy. No matter what was done to them.
