NBC's Baghdad-based Jane Arraf landed a scoop when she managed to tag along with Iraqi politicians--bringing $1m in relief cash in a pair of suitcases--as they visited the bombed-out rubble of the Yazidi villages in the deserts of Kurdistan. Yesterday, ABC's Miguel Marquez said that the attack was on Sinjar and involved four trucks. Arraf named the targets as Qahataniyah and a next-door village and reported three explosions. The blasts were devastating, either way. Arraf reported that fully 20% of the population was either killed or wounded. "Many Moslems mistakenly consider the Yazidis to be devil worshippers. Their villages were an easy target."
