Antiwar Newswire reports 32 dead.   "The blast — the second major attack to hit Iraqis in three days and the deadliest to strike Baghdad in nearly a month — was a bloody reminder of the ability of insurgents to defy security improvements and stage dramatic attacks as the U.S. begins to draw down its forces."

What? I thought they wanted us to leave? Why do this to their own people? Makes the Iraqi govt. want to keep the US forces longer.
