al-Qaeda in Iraq Proudly Claims Murder of 160 Iraqis

Well really there was no doubt about who did this week's bombing in Iraq. It was a classic al-Qaeda action. Multiple attacks at the same time, it carried the murderous signature of al-Qaeda even before they claimed it.

Via CNN:BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- An umbrella group affiliated with al Qaeda in Iraq claimed responsibility Tuesday for a pair of weekend bombings that killed 160 people in Baghdad.

The Islamic State of Iraq issued a statement saying it carried out the attacks. The authenticity of the claim could not immediately be verified, but it appeared on a Web site frequently used by the group.
