This is a step forward in the fight against terrorists who are suicide bombing and killing in Iraq like what was described in Maria’s post.
2)What did you actually find interesting about this article?
That they actually caught the terrorists who kidnapped those U.S. soldiers and later killed them, it shows that the U.S. is making progress in it’s war against terrorism.
3) what did you actually find interesting about the blog posting?
That 1 single bomb can do so much damage, it killed 32 people and wounded 50 people and also that these people are willing to die just to stop the U.S. it’s pretty amazing how much they hate America when the U.S. troops are just trying to help.
