BREAKING NEWS FROM CNN

So far today no car bombs have exploded in Iraq. A spokesman for the interim Iraqi government described this as "totally unprecedented" and vowed the government would work "tirelessly" to ensure an immediate return to chaos.

A spokesman for the Association of Baghdad Car Dealers commented that if there was not immediate government action his members would be forced to consider laying off staff in "the near future" as demand for new cars to replaced those used by the bombers is crucial to their market.
