Just coming in over the wires:

“A suicide truck bomber struck a market in a predominantly Shiite area of Baghdad on Saturday, killing at least 102 people among the crowd buying food for evening meals, police and hospital officials said.

The attacker was driving a truck carrying food when he detonated his explosives, destroying stores and stalls that had been set up in the busy outdoor Sadriyah market, police said, giving the casualty toll.

Officials said at least 102 people were killed and more than 200 wounded as nearby hospitals were flooded with victims from the blast, The Associated Press reported. Many were driven to the hospitals in pickup trucks and lifted onto stretchers while several men helped overwhelmed medics by holding plastic drips.”

Interesting, coming in on the heals the summary NIE? Perhaps. More to follow after The Macranger Show.
