Insurgents bomb a main water pipeline in Baghdad. City engineers say this is the first strike against Baghdad’s water system during the Iraq War, which began in March 2003. The bombing occurs around seven in the morning, when a blue Volkswagen Passat stops on an overpass near the Nidaa mosque and an explosive is fired at the six-foot-wide water main in the northern part of Baghdad, said Hayder Muhammad, the chief engineer for the city’s water treatment plants.
