Explosions everywhere

(NYTimes) The Kurds bomb the streets of Turkey killing at least 16, injuring 150.

(AP) The US military blamed Al Qaeda for a bombing in a Shiite neighborhood of Baghdad killing "at least 28 people and wounding 92."

(AP) "In a separate attack, a bomb killed at least 15 people and wounded 80 others at a Kurdish rally in the northern city of Kirkuk, Iraqi authorities said."

Over the weekend, (AP) There were two sets of bombings in India killing "at least 45."

And, (Reuters) Another apparent US missile strike kills six at a madrassa right inside the Pakistani border.

Two sidenotes on the Pakistan attack. 1) It comes the day that Pakistani PM Gilani begins a 3 day visit to Washington, and 2) Check out the new Pakistan stance on such attacks.
Pakistan's military spokesman said he had little information, and noted that U.S. coalition forces were no longer informing the Pakistan army over every missile strike.

We don't know if that's necessarily true or not, but it would put a very different spin on everything.
