Despite tight security, car bomb kills 2 in Iraqi capital

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraqi troops Wednesday uncovered a kidnapping ring, seized weapons -- including three rockets -- and defused two roadside bombs after beginning a security clampdown on the often lawless streets of Baghdad.

In the first day of the new government's push to restore order in the capital, Iraqi troops also enforced a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. and issued a weapons ban for civilians.

Four insurgents were detained at one checkpoint after three people emerged from a car "screaming for help," said Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, a U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad.

"We found eight people that had been kidnapped now for four days that we were able to return back under control of the Iraqi government," Caldwell said. "They worked for an electrical company."

I thought the good news was that the car bomb only killed two people.

It's CNN, for heaven's sakes. You can't expect them to write a simple positive story about Iraq....without also adding some of the bad news.

You're right, Senax. It's very encouraging to see this being accomplished by the Iraqi's themselves.

There is a great deal of good news from Iraq but in order for the liberal news sources to print it they would have to admit they have been wrong, and disrupt their liberal politicians plans.

Yes! That's why we must get out of Iraq before we win!

Oh pulleezze. By now you know these poor peasant people are finally figuring out they are going to have to save themselves, if they are to be saved. How many of them have died? Some estimates are over 200,000 Iraqis (innocent Iraqis) now dead, due to the Bush Regime's Shock and Awe Program. If anyone thinks that we are nearing the end to the nightmare Bush began in Iraq, and the entire Middle East for that matter, they've got another think coming. We haven't even begun to see the end. They have a Mickey Mouse so-called Iraq government now that operates in a military green zone. Stick that government out in Bumfumk Iraq and see how long they last.
