En Sydafrikaner i Irak

A Bodyguard in Baghdad (and Other Places) er en billed-blog med små kommentarer der køres af en sydafrikaner der pt arbejder som bodyguard i Irak (skægt nok, taget titlen i betragtning). Selv om det i sig selv er spektakulært nok tager side 8 stikket - billederne der er fra en selvmords-bilbombe ved den Grønne Zone. Som bloggeren beskriver gik angrebet nok ikke helt som terroristerne håbede:

It's not all fun and games in Baghdad - shit happens and people die. Below are pictures of a car-bomb that went off just outside Assassins' Gate, one of the Green Zone's high-security entrances. I understand that the investigation showed that the bomber wasn't a willing trigger-man - he was forced to drive to the gate by a few armed insurgents in a vehicle right behind him. Once he got close to the gate he must have decided that he had nothing more to lose; he detonated the car-bomb and took them with him. One brave man, that.

Jeg skal advare mod at der er halvbrændte lig på billederne på side 8, så hvis De ikke vil se den slags så la være
