Response

Would a section on the government/international response be justified which may help back up notability of these bombings compared to many others. Two would be:

UN strongly condemns the attack [1]
"Obama condemns Iraq attacks, won't alter U.S. withdrawal plans" [2]

Just a thought, i dont know if anyone wants to add it. Thanks BritishWatcher (talk) 11:08, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
