Iraqi Bomb Attacks Kill 46

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

Police confirm that at least 46 people are dead after a wave of bomb attacks in Baghdad and Baquba, Iraq.

Two of the bombing reportedly targeted a wedding in Baquba.

The Baghdad blasts included a car bomb and roadside bomb. At least nine people were killed when a blast happened inside a coffee shop.

A judge was wounded when a bomb exploded in Balad, north of Baghdad, as the judge’s motorcade passed some cars. Several others were wounded in the blast.

Officials say the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, that ended in early August, was the bloodiest months in years. Over 670 people are confirmed to have been killed in sectarian violence.

Over 4,000 have died this year leading analysts to believe a return to the violence of 2008 is very possible.
