The Spice Girls are set to perform in Baghdad.
The recently reunited girl group face the prospect of appearing in the war-torn capital of Iraq after allowing fans to choose the location of one date on their forthcoming world tour.
An online campaign to make Baghdad 'Spice City' for one night only is now underway, and is attracting thousands of votes.
Web user Earle wrote on www.realneighbours.com: "It is down to us so make the right choice, choose Baghdad!"
Another 'fan', calling themselves Tensor, posted the following message on www.channel9.com: "I think they could get airlifted in to the greenzone, play a surprise gig, and get out with relative safety."
The girls - Mel B, Mel C, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham - announced the special vote last week, saying: "It's impossible for us to perform everywhere but we thought why not let our fans decide where we play? This is your chance to turn your city into 'Spice City'! All you need to do is tell us where you want to see us. We are literally in your hands."
Their statement ends with the promise: "The city with the most votes will become 'Spice City' and we'll definitely come and play there as part of our tour."
The band's world tour currently comprises of 14 shows, taking place in five continents, and begins in Vancouver, Canada, in December.
Fans who wish to vote for the location of 'Spice City' can register their choice at www.thespicegirls.com.

This guy is a liar and I would like to see some sources that were obviously not pre-rendered by him in the first place. Such things as proof of user is not available. This guy has been fabricating stories for attention and drama, and with a severe lack of proof I doubt this is serious.
After all, this particular guy is responding to a news blip. He likely has schizophrenia and is a complusive liar to go this far.

Ritlina is a compulsive liar and happens to be the author of said trouble he goes from site to site to anyone that will listen and tries to get people in on his plans and then rats them out to try and win admiration and attention and to save his own skin.
He will shortly be the subject of a lawlsuit and has been banned from many reputable sites already for employing said tactics.
Do not be fooled by his all to eager to help stories as he is laughing away when people get sucked into his boy cried wolf stories and will do anything to get media attention.
Well, they pulled it early and it's Toronto....
