A car bombing has killed at least 37 civilians and wounded 50 in a government-held area near the city of Hama in Syria this morning. This is the second car bombing in two days — one killed three people yesterday near Homs.
The sectarian violence in and around Iraq's capital continued this afternoon when a car bomb killed 12 people and wounded 30 in Sadr City, a Shiite district of Baghdad. While no one has yet taken responsibility for the attack, past bombings in the area have been the work of Sunni militants.
For an incompetent terrorist, alleged Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad sure is provoking a lot of international incidents.
The FBI has filed its criminal complaint against Times Square Car Bomb suspect Faisal Shahzad. In it, they say that Shahzad admitted that he "recently received bomb-making training in Waziristan, Pakistan."
Officials now say the Times Square car bomb "was the work of an international plot."
Police have found the owner of the bomb-laden Nissan Pathfinder. He's "not considered a suspect."
