The al-Khilani Mosque bombing occurred on 19 June 2007 when a truck bomb exploded in front of the Shia al-Khilani Mosque in Baghdad, Iraq. At least 78 people were killed and another 218 injured in the blast.
The explosion occurred just two days after a four-day curfew banning vehicle movement in the city was lifted after the al-Askari Mosque bombing (2007), and just hours after 10,000 US troops began the Arrowhead Ripper offensive to the north of Baghdad. Because the site was a Shiite mosque, the bombing is presumed to have been the work of Sunnis.
The Sinak area were the explosion took place was also the targeted by a suicide car bomber on 28 May 2007, which resulted in 21 deaths.

Famous quotes containing the word bombing:
“The compulsion to do good is an innate American trait. Only North Americans seem to believe that they always should, may, and actually can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately this attitude leads to bombing people into the acceptance of gifts.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)
