Ninety were killed, many civilians. Another explosion killed several people near rimadi where iraqi soldiers are trying to advance with the help that coalition fighter jets. Lets take you go to the iraqi capital and jane in baghdad. What more do we know about the explosion . You can see from those images how devastating that impact was. Thats because theres always a long line of cars there. Its the major checkpoint which is very closing to the ancient city of babylon that you have to drive to to get to pretty much any point south. Many would have been there and at that major checkpoint staffed by iraqi soldiers and federal police, they would routinely be pulled over and made to wait while cars and other vehicles were checked for explosives.
