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.

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]
