University bombings kill 60 in Baghdad

Dozens more Iraqis liberated (from their lives) - this time mostly female students.

A car bomb and a suicide bomber killed 60 people and wounded 110, including many students blown up as they waited at the entrance to a university in Baghdad on Tuesday, police said.

Other bombings and a mass shooting brought to at least 95 the death toll in Baghdad on the bloodiest day for such attacks in weeks, as the United Nations published figures showing more than 34,000 Iraqi civilians were killed in violence last year.

A police source said a car bomb exploded near the main gate of the Mustansiriya University in an area where students, many of them women, wait for minibuses and cars to pick them up to go home. A suicide bomber on foot then blew himself up near a second gate to the campus as people fled the first explosion.

"The majority of those killed are female students who were on their way home," a university official said as rescue crews picked through smoldering wreckage and human remains.

How were they able to determine that it was a suicide bomber and not some explosive device planted under a car or even in a package carried by an unwitting messenger?

What Iraqi in his or her right mind would slaughter so many innocent Iraqi women in this horrific manner??? What do they have to gain?

Something is desperately wrong with this picture. This is the work of someone who wants Iraq splintered into shards of what it used to be.

Yes, logic tells us, that this must have been a false flag attack by people who want to splinter Iraq.
The officials of course will say, it were Islamic fundamentalists, who don´t like women to get an education.

But in the Islamic Republic of Iran women are even encouraged to get a higher eduction.
In some years female university students outnumber male students by 20%.
