"BBC World Monitoring reports from Al-Arabiyah on June 17:
' At 1405 gmt, Al-Sharqiyah said: "A mosque in the Al-Habbaniyah Sub-District in Al-Anbar Governorate was the target of a booby-trapped car, which claimed the lives of five civilians. A US Army statement said that the car blew up yesterday afternoon, and that 15 civilians were also wounded in the explosion. '
A Sunni mosque in Anbar? Why would Sunni guerrillas hit that? Is this another attack on pro-American Sufis? Did the local imam cut a deal? Will try to find out more."
