Suicide bombings and bombings against the coalition troops continued in Iraq, there were news of bombings in different places in the country. A female suicide bomber entered a crowd of 200 police recruits and detonated a bomb. The bomb killed 14 persons and injured several others. This happened in the Muqtadiyah city which is some 60 miles to the northeast of Baghdad.

There were also attacks on the coalition soldiers. There were reports of three soldiers killed when a roadside bomb detonated in the city of Baghdad. Another US soldier was killed in a combat in Anbar province of Iraq.

There were reports of gunfire throughout the city of Baghdad for the complete day, there was also some fierce fighting by US troops with two sunni-dominated groups in the city. Empty firing throughout the city, was on during the day, however the target was unclear.

There were also reports that a US helicopter came in the scope of ground fire and had been landed down, however there are no confirmed reports about this incident, since this incident is still under investigation by the military officials.

There were also massive rallies held in two Shia cities called by Moqtada Al-Sadr, there were tens of thousands of people participating in these rallies. The rallies were held for coalition troops to leave the country and go. Though personally Sadr did no attend the rallies, the rallies were held specifically as a show of power against the archenemy U.S, and the coalition troops. This was also a kind of show of power for the police forces and Iraqi army. The day of the rallies was to mark the fourth anniversary of fall of Baghdad.

Though these were similar to the sentiments spoke in Japan by the Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri-Al-Maliki, who said there was no time-table required for the troops to leave Iraq, it was necessary to see how confident they were to take control of the situation in Iraq, and that the coalition forces would go as it was their democratic right.

All in all it was a day of violence throughout Iraq, meanwhile, U.S. has conquered insurgents up to the number of 150, this happened after a two week operation against insurgency, with the insurgents, rocket propelled grenades, hand launchers; automatic machines guns, sniper rifles, anti tank mines, etc were also seized from the insurgents.

In a surprising twist, almost all Iraqis are regretting Saddam’s fall, since their lives have been difficult ever since Hussien was captured. People have lost all faith in American troops, for people of Iraq it has become difficult to make both ends meet. Saddam’s fall has brought only violence and destabilization in the country and has been a reason for the killings of tens of thousands of Iraqis. For all Iraqis things have gone to the worst with no means to earn money and live a decent life.

All Iraqis have a feeling that in order to remove one tyrant, they have made way for several tyrants into Iraq, thus creating a vicious circle where peace is nowhere near them.
