BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Two car bombs targeting day laborers looking for work exploded within seconds of each other Tuesday on a main square in central Baghdad, killing at least 57 people and wounding more than 150, police said.

Also Tuesday, a television cameraman working for The Associated Press was shot to death by insurgents while covering clashes in the northern city of Mosul, police said.

Aswan Ahmed Lutfallah, 35, was having his car repaired in an industrial area in the eastern part of the city when insurgents and police began fighting nearby and he rushed to cover the clash, police Brig. Abdul-Karim Ahmed Khalaf said.

Insurgents spotted him filming, approached him and shot him to death, Khalaf said, citing an initial report. Lutfallah had not reported any prior threats against him. (Read the rest of the story here.)

If we allow Muslims to get Islam to take hold of this Country, this is what we have to look forward to. For as much as Muslims like to claim that Islam is a Religion of Peace, we can see that anywhere Islam exists, there is always unrest and violence.
