Blogging will be light today because it is my birthday, the big 2-7, and I’ve got work and other engagements to tend to. That does not mean that ITB is closed for the day, rather that I will not be posting my usual amount of posts.

In an effort to keep my readers engaged, I offer the following video of a terrorist attack in Iraq found on a radical Islamic message board by a tipster. I would not say the video is graphic, but then again I’ve seen so many of these that I’ve almost grown apathetic to these types of attacks.

I said ‘almost.’ This one is different than many of the other IED attacks that I’ve seen in that we hear the terrorists call out the now familiar Allah Akhbar but we also hear them laugh away. It appears to me to be a group of Iraqis investigating a strange object in the road while at least two terrorists are recording their moves and readying the bomb. Following the first explosion, more Iraqis run to the scene in order to help out their fallen compatriots only to have the terrorists readying up another explosion all the while laughing. It is truly disturbing that the terrorists are targeting innocent Iraqis in the first place, but also that they laugh while killing and/or maiming ten or more Iraqis.

You may view the video here. With that said, please bare with me today and I will post when I can.
