Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.
Car bomb kills 12 in northern Iraq
MOSUL, Iraq — A car bomb exploded in a market in the northern Iraqi town of Tal Afar on Wednesday, killing 12 people and wounding 30, a police officer and a medic told AFP.
The explosives-filled car was parked on the side of a road in the market in Tal Afar's Hal al-Taliyah neighbourhood, a police officer said on condition of anonymity.
Doctor Tareq al-Obeidi from the public hospital in Tal Afar, 60 kilometres (37 miles) west of Mosul, said that the dead and wounded were being brought to his facility.
The explosion took place at around 7:30 pm (1630 GMT) in Tal Afar, which in March 2006 was hailed as a model town by US President George W. Bush but which exactly a year later witnessed one of the biggest attacks in Iraq in which more than 150 people were killed in a truck bombing.

Propaganda:
The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.
