An elderly Iraqi woman shows two bullets which she says hit her house following an early coalition forces raid in the predominantly Shiite Baghdad suburb of Sadr City. At least 175 people were slaughtered on Tuesday and more than 200 wounded when four suicide truck bombs targeted people from an ancient religious sect in northern Iraq, officials said.(AFP/Wissam al-Okaili).

Yes. This is AFP, after all -- the Vichy agency.

Reminds me of a diagram I saw in Time magazine when Reagan was shot, purporting to explain the operation of Hinckley's exploding ammo. Of course it showed the entire cartridge entering the body as the bullet exploded.

maybe they were throwing at houses so people could have ammo to protect themselves? Throw both 7.62 and 5.56 cause you never know what type of weapon they may have.

LOL. True that.

Pretty amazing, at least to me, though. Makes me wonder if they really think the whole thing does get fired, since they're always talking about the big bad calibers is seems. I dunno.
