Bodies keep piling up, 178 killed and look what happened in Bush’s shining example town, Tal Afar:
Hours after truck bombs killed 85 people on Tuesday in a Shi’ite area of Tal Afar, up to 70 Sunni Arab men were shot dead in a town which only a year ago was held up by U.S. President George W. Bush as an example of progress towards peace.
Iraq’s Sunni vice president urged the government on Thursday to do more to purge security forces of militias after a group of Shi’ite police shot scores of Sunni Arab men after the two truck bombs in Tal Afar, near the Syrian border.
The governor of Nineveh province, which includes the town of Tal Afar, said policemen who took part in the reprisal shootings were arrested but then freed again to prevent unrest.
