Multiple Bombings Kill More Than 100 - Local News

 

BAGHDAD -- Timed suicide bombing attacks In Iraq claimed more than 100 lives on Thursday.

Authorities said the bombings were timed. Two cars exploded in quick succession near a busy market in the center of Khalis. A third followed about 45 minutes later, exploding about 500 yards away.

Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., the Senate passed legislation calling for troops to leave Iraq by March 2008, ignoring a veto threat from President George W. Bush.

In a mostly party line 51-47 vote, the Senate approved a $122 billion package to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It also orders Bush to begin withdrawing troops within 120 days of passage while setting a nonbinding goal of ending combat operations by March 31, 2008.
