Suicide bombings in Iraq since 2003 3646115 222518634 2008-06-29T19:47:46Z Virenque 1629172 /* 2007 */ {{longish}} {{Cleanup|date=December 2007}} {{main|Bombings and terrorist attacks of the Iraq War}} '''Suicide bombings in Iraq since 2003''' have killed thousands of people, mostly Iraqi civilians, and arguably constitute a new phenomenon in the history of warfare. [[Suicide bombings]] have been used as a tactic in other armed struggles, but their frequency and lethality in Iraq is unprecedented.<ref>[http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05153/514358.stm Suicide attacks soaring in Iraq<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> A 2005 [[Human Rights Watch]] report analysed the insurgency in Iraq and highlighted, "The groups that are most responsible for the abuse, namely [[al-Qaeda in Iraq]], [[Ansar al-Sunna]] and the [[Islamic State of Iraq]], have all targeted civilians for abductions and executions. The first two groups have repeatedly boasted about massive car bombs and suicide bombs in mosques, markets, bus stations and other civilian areas. Such acts are war crimes and in some cases may constitute crimes against humanity, which are defined as serious crimes committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population."<ref name="Human Rights Watch">{{cite web | url=http://www.hrw.org/english/docs/2005/10/03/iraq11804.htm |title=Iraq: Insurgent Groups Responsible for War Crimes | publisher=Human Rights News | date=[[2005-10-03]] | accessdate=2006-08-29}}</ref> == Frequency of Attacks == Determining the exact number of suicide bomber attacks in Iraq is a nearly impossible task. Attacks are so frequent that the global media no longer bother to investigate each attack. Even if reporters did follow up, most incidents that are attributed to suicide bombers are unverifiable (as the alleged bomber will have destroyed himself in the blast and any remains will be over-mixed with other human remains). In most reports, Coalition troops or Iraqi police are the sole source for the allegation of a suicide bomber attack. Further muddying the waters are the many reports surfacing of undercover intelligence operatives posing as Al Qaeda, resistance fighters, and potential suicide bombers as part of [[false flag]] operations[http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=BOW20050923&articleId=990]. This raises the possibility that at least some of these attacks could be remotely detonated bombs and not suicide attacks. ==Chronology== ===25 Suicide Bombings in 2003 (32 attackers)===<!-- This section is linked from [[List of terrorist incidents]] --> *[[February 26]]: A suspected Ansar al-Islam member detonated a suicide vest at a checkpoint in northern Iraq, killing three.<ref>[http://www.tkb.org/Incident.jsp?incID=15291 MIPT Terrorism Knowledge Base<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> *[[March 22]]: Three people were killed, including an Australian cameraman, and nine others injured when a suicide car bomber blew himself up at a checkpoint in Sayed Sadiq.<ref>[http://www.tkb.org/Incident.jsp?incID=20642 MIPT Terrorism Knowledge Base<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> *[[March 29]]: Iraqi soldier Ali Hammadi al-Namani kills four US soldiers in a suicide car bombing near Najaf.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2899387.stm BBC NEWS | Middle East | Iraq warns of more suicide missions<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> *[[April 3]]: A female suicide bomber kills three coalition soldiers at a checkpoint north-west of Baghdad.
