One attacker…….. lots of explosives…..121 dead and 373 wounded. Man oh man…….. GET US OUT!!!I notice al-Maliki is blaming Sunnis. Now if it’s in a mixed neighborhood of Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds, how can they know so fast that a Sunni did it? Just asking…..

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — A suicide bomber detonated his explosives-laden truck in a crowded Baghdad market Saturday, killing at least 121 people and wounding 373 others, a Health Ministry official said.

The blast, which destroyed automobiles, erupted in Sedriya, a mixed neighborhood of Sunni Arabs, Shiites and Kurds. Two nearby buildings were destroyed and eight others were damaged in the explosion.

Jihad Jabri, head of the Interior Ministry’s bomb squad, said the Mercedes truck used in the blast contained a ton of explosives.

“It was a strong blow. A car exploded. I fell on the ground,” a young man with a bandaged head told The Associated Press, his face streaked with blood. (Watch victims receive treatment in the aftermath of the blast )

Many were still trapped under the rubble, and news footage showed myriad victims being wheeled on stretchers into hospitals. The immense number of wounded forced hospitals in the area to redirect patients to other hospitals around the city.

The Health Ministry official said he expected the death toll from the blast to increase by a few dozen.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki condemned the attack and blamed it on Saddam loyalists and Sunni extremists.
