    "The bombings — among the deadliest this year — were a devastating blow to the Iraqi public's growing confidence in recent security gains that have seen violence in Iraq drop to its lowest levels in more than four years."

    "Such attacks are increasingly carried out by women, who are more easily able to hide explosives under their all-encompassing black Islamic robes, or abayas, and often are not searched at checkpoints."

        The Iraqis with their country, homes, families and jobs destroyed have nothing else to live for. There is no electricity, food, water or sanitation.

        Yeah, and they had or continue to have nothing to do with the destruction of their country, home, families and jobs. (sarcasm for those who don't get reality!).
