Update: Live From Baghdad - well, not exactly

Two bombs exploded a few blocks apart in New Baghdad on Sunday, killing at least 40 people and breaking the temporary lull in violence that had followed the launch of Baghdad's new security program reports the Washington Post.

Faris Salman, 30, an automobile mechanic in the neighborhood of the blasts speculated on the motive of the bombers: "Those people might be challenging the security plan," he told the Post. "They are showing that they have the strength, that they are able to target innocent and poor people."

"I was expecting this," Addis Hadi, 42, a travel agent told the Post. "No one will be able to stop the terrorists in Iraq. I did not believe in this security plan."

Well, uh, that's depressing.
