The Tchaikovsky Insurgency...

It's getting to be the conclusion of the "1812" overture in Iraq...without the celebratory, drunken, picnickers.

A car bomb exploded in an upscale shopping district in Baghdad on Monday, killing at least six Iraqis and setting fire to an apartment building, police said.

Two other bombs exploded in Baghdad, narrowly missing a top Iraqi security official and a U.S. patrol. In southern Iraq, a British soldier was killed in fighting, the British government said.

On Sunday, insurgents killed at least 36 Iraqis in a series of attacks, including 25 who died and more than 50 who were wounded by a car bomb that ripped through a tent packed with mourners at the funeral of a Kurdish official in the northern city of Tal Afar.


And half-an hour in, CNN tells us that there has been a 4th explosion in Baghdad.
