BAGHDAD (Reuters) – In a second day of major bloodshed, two suicide bombers wearing explosive vests blew themselves up at the gates of a Shi'ite Muslim shrine in Baghdad on Friday, killing 60 people, Iraqi police said.
At least 125 people were wounded in the attack at the Imam Moussa al-Kadhim shrine in the Shi'ite neighborhood of Kadhimiya, a frequent target of insurgent groups, police said.
Now this guy was probably going hungry, lived in a shack, and was a religious zealot.
Then there is the CEO of Freddie Mac who offs himself in the basement of his house. The guy has money, yeah he lost a couple of million on bad stock at Freddie, but he was still working and had a good job and family. He might have been under investigation but he still had time to work through it maybe.
So which one should really surprise us. No it is not alright to take 60 people with you, but he is more understandable to me than the CEO. Of course I wasn't in either's head at the time thank god. Still you have to wonder why.
