Notability?

What makes this event more notable that the dozens and dozens of other un-article'd events on List of suicide bombings in Iraq since 2003? SGGH ^ping! 16:39, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It happened during a relavively peaceful time and killed quite a lot of people. I don't think we should argue about "there isn't article on x, so we shouldn't have an article on y". There are reliable sources of the event and I think that a civilian attack killing 28 is notable by Wikipedia's standards. Jolly Ω Janner 16:52, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Insurgents

I linked "insurgents" to the article, although I wish the media in general would be more specific in this matter. The whole idea of using the word "insurgent" is as useless as saying, "some bad guys", and smacks of propaganda.173.49.91.134 (talk) 17:29, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
