U.S. produces anti-suicide bombing ad for Iraq
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A simulated suicide bombing will be filmed in downtown Los Angeles this weekend in a campaign by prominent Iraqis who want to dissuade the bombers who have wreaked a devastating toll on their country.

The 60-second edited film, a simulation of a Baghdad marketplace bombing that will kill or injure 200 people, will air on Iraqi TV in six weeks.
Los Angeles-based commercial filmmaker 900 Frames will film and produce the staged suicide bombing, showing viewers the time just before, during and after the explosion, in an effort to capture the impact of the act.
A group of scholars, businessmen and activists in Iraq and abroad put up the $1 million in production costs, which includes hiring over 200 mostly local actors.
Iraqi leaders recently agreed on a national unity government to curb sectarian violence in the country where suicide bombings are an almost daily occurrence. More than 35,000 Iraqi civilians have died since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, hundreds in suicide attacks.
900 Frames co-founder Drew Plotkin said it was "a tremendous responsibility."
"This is about saving lives," he said. "If we do our job right, it is quite possible this could be the way to stop suicide bombing."
