El Blanco Because I'm sure people weren't going to jump up and point out how Ukraine was part of the coalition.

If that little bit hadn't been inserted, I and 100% sure that no one on this board was going to say "its also important to point out that the Ukraine has troops in Iraq" and make some half assed attempt to link them.

Yep, no chance of it happening at all.

I love that for some reason we have to be informed when there isn't an immediate indication of the motive being tied to Iraq. If there's a link to a global terrorist organization or a tie to insurgent forces, tell me. If there isn't, just shut the fuck up and stop with the goddamn sensationalism. By inserting shit like that into your articles you're only going to make people feel like there's something looming above their heads that they don't know about.


Oh wait... that's the objective, isn't it?

Zhukov These terorrists are lazy, they just go for whoever is closest.

That's why Spain was so big - It was done by the Real Deal. Australia, Britain and the US can all expect large attacks! Albania and Ukraine will just get the same old bomb blasts that they get all the time.

The_Rorschach Britain and the United States have certainly been targeted, and other countries such as Japan. . .But Ukraine's involvement was nearly nil.


But my title was a typo. It was supposed to read 'New Targets'

Zhukov Coalition Allies have been targets for a while now.

But don't jump to the conclusion that the blast was because of their involvement. It's not like the Ukraine has been immune to bomb blasts.

Two Blasts Rock Market in Ukraine Capital, 13 Hurt




Aug. 20, 2004 — KIEV (Reuters) - Two blasts rocked a wholesale market in the northern suburbs of Ukraine's capital Kiev on Friday, wounding 13, two seriously, an Emergencies Ministry official said.
The device used and the motive behind the explosions were being investigated, he said.

The two devices went off in quick succession at about 6 p.m. at Kiev's Troeshchina market, which sells mostly clothes and household goods.

Interfax-Ukraine news agency quoted a source as saying the market was nearly deserted at the time of the blasts, with only a few traders and cleaners left. The source said the devices were probably placed in waste bins.

Many markets are controlled by competing trading groups and fighting between them is commonplace.

There was no immediate indication that the blasts had any link to Ukraine's military presence in Iraq, where it is a member of the U.S.-led coalition.

Leftist politicians have called for their withdrawal and the deployment has become a major political issue in the run-up to a presidential election due in October, but protests against their presence in Iraq have not been violent.
