An all-too familiar scene on the streets of Baghdad...more carnage, the
lives of more innocent civilians destroyed in a relentless terror
campaign against anybody seen cooperating with the coalition.
Witnesses said a white SUV packed with explosives and artillery shells
raced up outside the gates of an Iraqi army recruiting center and
exploded...
It's the deadiest suicide bomb attack in Iraq since February, when a
bomber killed 47 Army recruits at this very location.

Although the target of the blast may have been the Iraqi forces, most of
the recruits were already inside the compound...and on a busy Baghdad
street at the height of rush hour, the bulk of the victims were Iraqi
civilians.
Visiting the scene, interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi called on the
people of Iraq to stay strong.
((ILYAD ALLAWI/INTERIM PRIME MINISTER: WE ARE GOING TO FACE THESE ESCALATIONS, WE ARE GOING TO FACE THE ENEMIES OF IRAQ AND THE IRAQI PEOPLE ARE GOING TO PREVAIL.))
