Here's some very bad news with the hope for some very good news. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6874656/)
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Insurgents struck with a vengeance in a burst of attacks following a post-election lull, killing at least 28 people, including two Marines. In one ambush, they waylaid a minibus carrying new Iraqi army recruits. Elsewhere they detonated car bombs and gunned down police and Iraqis working for the U.S. military, officials said Thursday.
Insurgents had eased up on attacks following Sunday's elections, when American and Iraqi forces imposed sweeping security measures to protect the voters.
Separately, U.S. and Iraqi security forces may have come close to capturing Iraq's most-wanted militant leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in the past two weeks and are weakening his network, Iraq's interior minister said Thursday.
As good as it would be to capture Zarqawi, these guys seem to be able to shrug off the loss of these big guys. Elsewhere in the article it says that we believe we're weakening his network, which is real good news. Maybe things really are turning.........
