Surge of suicide bombers

While new figures show that the United States death toll dipped to its lowest total all year in the month of July, the number of Iraqis being killed continues to rise them some 1652 civilians died. Many if not most of those deaths are becoming an epidemic of suicide bombings. According to a US Department of Defends Intelligence analyst in Iraq who specializes in the subject but is not authorized to speak on the record. More than 4000 Iraqis have been killed or injured by suicide bombmers and then so more died in a truck bombing in Baghad. Iraq has superseded all the other suicide-bomb campaigns. The National-Security adviser says that Saudis account for half to suicide bombing in Iraq. Saudis play a little role in the insurgency as a whole but are key to the suicide-bombing campaign. Saudi government estimates that 850 of its citizens have gone to fight in Iraq since 2003 at least 50 percent have been killed. But in fact, most of the bombmers are recruited from among educated, middle-class families that apeal is an intellectual, thelogical one.
