Right now I’m listening to at least two or three voices from distant loudspeakers (possibly from mosques’ minarets) telling the residents in the north eastern part of Baghdad to strictly avoid drinking tap water because “the water has been poisoned”!

It could be just a rumor or it could be part of the all-out-war waged by al-Qaeda on Iraqis on the election eve.

I hope it turns out to be just a rumor…
