BAGHDAD - Two Iraqi generals were gunned down in separate attacks Monday evening, one by men in army uniforms who forced their way into his Baghdad home, officials said on Tuesday. Major General Adnan Faush Farawni, a senior advisor to the defence ministry, and his son, Captain Alladin Farawni, who worked in intelligence, were shot dead by the unidentified gunmen who escaped aboard three cars, an interior ministry official told AFP.
One other family member suffered wounds to the head and leg in the attack in a southern district of the capital, the official said.
In another attack Monday evening, Brigadier General Hussein Hato al-Jabeeri, and his driver were shot dead in their car in Amara, some 350 kilometres (210 miles) southeast of Baghdad, police captain Karim Assaf told AFP. The general was an inspector general for the interior ministry responsible for three southern provinces. |
