Inside Iraq
The BBC has an excellent collection of postings by regular Iraqi folk, providing a view into the daily life that we so rarely see from the media at large. My Dad and Stepmother often remind me that there's a lot of good news going on in Iraq that's not covered, and I have no doubt about that. But it's no cakewalk, either:
Posted by Dhia Abdulwahad Baghdad, 30 November:
I was on my way to the centre of Baghdad and was about to cross the Andlous Bridge when suddenly, a bomb went off under the bridge. Thank God, I was not hurt. I stopped of course, as did the other drivers, and waited for the police to arrive, which they did eventually.
I understand that two people were killed in the attack. What was the purpose of this act? I saw no coalition military personnel or any foreigner around when this bomb went off, so who was the target? We have become almost used to these events. Iraqis are always on the look out for anything suspicious.
If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you'll see a link to previous days' postings.
