I found this article and Shane’s article similar, as his and my article are both about bombings, even though the places and the vehicles that were bombed were different.
It was said that the bombing occured at somewhere around midday in Baghdad, Iraq, in the most popular shopping places. 10 people died, while lots of people were wounded or injured as well. But, they said that the terrorism in Iraq has dropped sharply every since the plan to do so (Febuary 12th) was released. So it means that Iraq might have a chance to make the terrorism drop even more.
But to be on the safe side, they decided to ban cars, motorcycles, or any types of vehicles from the city on public holidays, so that it doesn’t ruin the holiday.
What did you find interesting about this topic?
What I found interesting was how much bombings there were in the world. It isn’t just one place (in Shane’s current event, Pakistan or Delhi). Also, this article showed that Iraq was still bombing cars, and it hasn’t gotten better.
What did you like about the initial posting?
I liked how Shane was writing much details on the blog so that I got a picture in my head (even though it wasn’t a happy picture). Also, his answer for the question (What would you do if you were directly involved?) was very reasonable, and I couldn’t find anything that could wrong with it. He seemed to know his article well, which made me think about it more, then if he just read it off the computer or off the board.
