30 September 2004 Baghdad bombing was a series of bombings targeting U.S. soldiers handing out sweets to the Iraqi children at the celebration during the opening of a water treatment plant in the Amil District of Baghdad.[1] The bombings killed at least 41, including 35 children, and wounded 131, including 10 U.S. soldiers.

US Army units attacked were from Comanche Troop 1st Squadron 7th Cavalry 1st Cavalry Division. Troopers from Apache Troop 1st Squadron 7th Cavalry were dispatched as quick reaction force (QRF) from FOB Falcon.

Perpetrators

Zarqawi's group Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad claimed responsibility for attacks that day, but it is unclear if these include these explosions that killed the children.[1]
