Breaking News: Bloodbath in Hilla with 120 Dead, 200 Wounded

Guerrillas drove a carbomb into the midst of young Shiite men standing in line to get physicals for service in the police or national guards, in the southern city of Hilla, and detonated it. CNN is reporting at least 120 dead and over 200 wounded. This attack is the worst single atrocity in Iraq since the fall of Saddam.

Gen. Richard Myers suggested recently that the guerrilla war would go on for at least 10 years.
