"The square in front of the July 14 Bridge in Baghdad is closed by troops several times a day. The square is not far from the Green Zone and in front of the square lie the offices of the president and the head of the biggest parliamentary bloc.

No one ever objected, in the many times that I have been there, sitting in the car waiting for the convoy of X official to pass by, to the closing of the square by the military. We all turn off our cars and sit their and wait.

Today was different.

I couldn't believe my eyes."
