(KUNA) -- Ten Iraqi civilians were shot dead by unknown gunmen in northeast the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, on Thursday, according to the police. A source at the police said in a statement the gunmen stopped a bus carrying workers and killed 10 of them. The bodies, with ages not more than 45 years old, were taken to Baquba hospital, said the source. Killings continue in the Iraqi capital as the government is placing a security plan to crack down on outlawed militants.
| The killings aren't going to magickally shut off just because we killed Zark or we kill Izzat Ibrahim or we kill al-Muhajer. But if we kill enough of them we'll see the number of killings drop over a six month period and then drop further in the next six months. We'll have reached a major milestone the first day that goes by without a killing, even though there'll be another one the day after. |
