AS PREDICTED HERE

The bad guys strike back quickly.
Suicide car bombings at two Baghdad area police stations have killed nine people and shattered any hope of a swift end to violence after the capture of Saddam Hussein.

One attacker crashed his car into the gates of Zuhour police station at Husseiniyah, a village 18 miles north of Baghdad, at 8:30 a.m. (5.30 a.m. British time) before detonating explosives that killed himself and seven police, a police spokesman said on Monday.

Around 20 people were wounded.

In Baghdad 30 minutes later a second bomber blew himself up in a car packed with explosives outside Amiriyah criminal investigation department. He died and 12 people -- eight police and four passers-by -- were wounded.
