Iraq

A Chlorine gas truck was detonated at a gas stop near Taji, killing 5 and making another 140 sick. Suicide and car bombings killed 18 in Baghdad, while 20 victims of death squads were found. The Iraqi government is going to allow Baathists who lost their jobs, including those in the military and intelligence, will be able to return to work in the government.
