Both Iraqi and American officials Friday revised down their estimates of those killed in the suicide bombing, which penetrated several layers of security. The U.S. issued a statement saying one civilian was killed.

I am absolutley perplexed as to how this was allowed to happen. This building should have been the most secure area, possibly in all of Iraq!!!
I'm going to have to put it down to lacklustre security by the American forces responsible for it. poor.

I agree this never should have happened. It almost seems like for all of our efforts, we still don't have a handle at all. Difficult to grasp.
