In Baghdad, Iraq, gunmen dressed in camouflage kidnapped 50 security workers. Later Iraqi officers and US found 24 bodies scattered around the capital. The attackers went to the al-Rawafild Security Co. at 4:30 in the afternoon and forced the workers into cars. The people that did the kidnapping were a mix between Sunni and Shiite from eastern Baghdad.  While police were patrolling other areas gunfire and explosions killed several others. American Patrols found 18 more bodies in a building. All of them were men. In other parts of the city six more bodies were found. After all of this, on February 22, there was a bombing on an ancient Shiite shrine. Then there was a car explosion and killed 2 officers and injured 5 other people.

Well not exactly; But the skull of a 135 million year old sea monster was found. Scientists discovered this large fossil in southern Argentina in an area that was once part of the Pacific Ocean. The creature’s name is Dakosaurus Andiniensi (its nickname is Godzilla) and is a whole new species of ancient crocodilians, but unlike today’s crocodiles “Godzilla” lived entirely in water. The creature was measured 13 feet from nose to tail. “Godzilla” does not have feet but four flippers and a fish like tail to move threw the water. Something that makes this mighty beast stand out is it’s snout. Most crocodiles have a long snout with sharp, identical teeth, but “Godzilla” has a short high snout with jagged teeth. These traits lead scientists to what it ate. “Godzilla” ate large marine reptiles and other sea creatures. But don’t worry Tokyo this ones in South America.
