Ursula: all the innocent victims in that restaurant saw that American soldier too.


As for restaurants, who went home to explain these to their family:

The restaurant was popular with security troops
A suicide bomber has killed at least 23 people in a restaurant near the Green Zone in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

At least six of those killed were policemen. The blast - claimed by the group of Iraq's most wanted rebel Abu Musab al-Zarqawi - injured 36 people.

2005
At least 34 dead in Baghdad suicide blast
Bomber detonates inside restaurant

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A series of attacks in the Iraqi capital Thursday targeted police and civilians, including a suicide bombing at a restaurant that killed at least 34 people, Iraqi police said.

Another 25 were wounded when the bomber, strapped with explosives, detonated inside Qadduri restaurant in central Baghdad at about 9:40 a.m. (0640 GMT.)

Al Qaeda in Iraq claimed responsibility for the attack in a Web site posting, saying it had been monitoring the restaurant and concluded that only "infidels" frequented the establishment.

Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, spokesman for the Multinational Force Iraq, blamed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian-born leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, for the attack on "a known restaurant for Iraqi police as they change shifts."
