I would not call this page irrelevant. The reason it is different from the smaller incidents where four or five people are killed is the scale of things. There have only been a very few incidents where this many people have been killed. It is also significant because it is the first such incident in the British zone, which, aside from a few much smaller clashes has been pretty quiet up to now. I would say that things like the bombs in Najaf and those at the UN headquarters in Iraq, which are of the same scale, also deserve their own page. David Newton 13:09, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)
