The bomber, who was on foot, detonated explosives at a cop shoppe in Fallujah, ... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperityor a really nice place to raise your kids... west of Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... , as the militiamen, known as Sahwa, gathered near a cop shoppe, police Lieutenant Colonel Khaled Yassir al-Jumaili said. The blast killed five people, including a police brass hat and four Sahwa fighters. It also maimed 15 other people. In a separate attack in Storied Baghdad, a boom-mobile in the capital's Al-Husseiniyah area killed three people and maimed another 10, officials said.
