QUOTE

Deaths mounted steadily in northeast Baghdad after a massive midday Shiite religious procession erupted into a chaotic stampede Wednesday, causing the drowning and trampling deaths of 965 pilgrims.

Authorities believe a rumor raced through the crowd that a suicide bomber was in their midst, and that created panic among the waves of pedestrians trying to cross the Al-A'imma bridge over the Tigris River. The throngs of Shiite faithful had been stopped by security checks and bogged down by concrete barriers.

Three hours earlier, an insurgent mortar attack near the Kadhimiya mosque killed seven people and wounded 36 others.

Government officials are investigating that attack and the stampede itself -- which also led to the injuries of 465 people. The death count could rise as crews search for more victims.

Bush needs to get the **** out of office.

You do realize this wasn't the result of the Iraq War. It was civilians on a religious pilgramage who heard there was a suicide bomber, ran for their lives, and trampled 1000 people to death in a stampede. I don't like Bush, but this isn't his fault.

Good little insight that has no relevance to this topic.

Try reading it next time.

NO THANKS, BRAT Group: Members Posts: 5506 Member No.: 320 Joined: 9-March 04 Status: (0d)	The fact that some person is goddamn stupid enough to shout "SUICIDE BOMBER" makes my mind run in circles. Just what the hell did he expect to happen? We were talking about this in government today. It is sad news. People were diving off the bridge, trampling each other... I'm just wondering how this is going to affect the upcoming constitution, if at all. Seems to me like it could delay it.

Missing punctuation marks and a typo don't help, either.
