it only underlines the deep divisions that have long prevailed in Iraqi society...during the Ba'athist era, Sunnis held sway over a Shi'a majority...and i suspect, given the target (a clinic in a Shi'a area), there are Sunnis trying to hold on...i suspect they (the Sunnis) are worried about payback...
