A series of car bombs on Wednesday targeted Shia neighbourhoods in Baghdad and government buildings in Kirkuk, in northern Iraq, killing at least 35 overall.
The aim of these attacks is fairly clear: with the onset of sectarian warfare in Syria, Iraq's jihadis are now trying to widen the 'battlefield' into Iraq. Tens of thousands of Iraqis died in the sectarian blood-letting from 2006 to 2007, and this is exactly the kind of conflict that the Syrian-Iraqi jihadis would like to recreate. With the merger/alliance of the "Islamic State of Iraq" and Syria's al-Nusra Front, it has been ensured that the more success either enjoys, the other will be able to push their own country deeper into conflict.

There aren't enough bars jihadis would go to. Nowhere you could go, sit with a drink, and eavesdrop on the messy, convoluted and contradictory mess that is violent jihadism around the world. So instead we have the imaginary Sharaaabtoon, a place where various self-proclaimed mujahadeen will be brought forth to be seen and overheard, just as if they were the clientele of a bar. Remember: no shahada, no service. Twitter: @Sharaabtoon
