Iraq's vice president said an Iraqi military officer carried out Saturday's deadly suicide bomb attack and promised more to come, warning that Iraq could send a single "martyr" to kill thousands of Americans...
Col. Will Grimsley, commander of the division's 1st Brigade, said an Iraqi in a taxi drove up to the checkpoint -- where soldiers try to determine civilians from Iraqi fighters in civilian clothes -- early Saturday morning. A sign in Arabic announces the roadblock, he said.
The taxi driver reportedly gestured to the soldiers that his car was having mechanical problems. As the soldiers approached the vehicle, the driver detonated the bomb, killing himself and four soldiers, Grimsley said
Iraqi TV said Saddam had given the dead bomber two medals posthumously and would give the man's family 100 million dinars ($35,000).
