Police Officer's wedding Targeted by car bomb
BBC Reports - 5 killed/10 injured in Falluja car boming
The Bride and Groom's vehicle was not effected, but several guests are reportedly still missing. Meanwhile Baghdad police say that they have found bodies of at least 10 people dumped in different parts of the city.
On a commentary note, the BBC has been running a blog about news values and Iraq, and it's come to light just how jaded we are all becomming to the news out of this almost five year war... it is rare that we even hear about car bombings any more, as they've become so commonplace that even the BBC admits to not airing them as stories until the death toll reaches more than 50. Unfortunately, on the day of this bombing, when the day's total exceded 50, it was so quickly growing that there were over 100 people dead in Iraq, before the story even hit th air.
