In the AP report of recent terrorist attacks on Iraqi citizens:
Qadir said 30 people were killed and 35 were wounded, including about 15 who were in critical condition.Like many other such recruitment centers in Iraq, Hawija's is located in a building surrounded by cement walls topped with barbed wire in an effort to prevent attacks by car bombs. Men often line up outside such centers early in the morning to apply for jobs at a time of high unemployment in Iraq.
Just so you don't get the idea that the men were standing in line to become police officers or soldiers because they want to do what they can to end the terrorism in their country.
