On Thursday night, in Baghdad at two of the nicer hotels in
the capital bombs were set off. The hotels that were targeted were two hotels
where mostly tourists and wealthy Iraqi people stayed. The bombings of the
hotels were coordinated with one another, because there was minutes between the
two bombings. Each of the bombings were in cars, and therefore when the bomb
went off the car exploded. In these bombings 15 people were killed and 42 were
injured. The first bombing was in the Babylon Hotel. The second bombing was by
the former Sheraton hotel. There is no information on who is responsible for
the bombings. However, Sunni extremists have previously bombed hotels.
