Eight security guards killed in $7 million Baghdad bank robbery, police say
AP story sez gunnies killed eight security guards, escaped with almost $7 million from a central Baghdad bank today. Cops say it's the work of turbans attempting to finance their operations. This is the second robbery this week in Baghdad's Karradah district, which would imply it's the same group both times.
Gunnies hit the Rafidain Bank at 4 a.m., killed three on-duty guards, then five others who were either on break or asleep, using silencer-equipped weapons. No word on how many bad guys were involved.
Five people were killed Sunday when gunnies raided the al-Nibal money exchange around noon. Three employees and two customers were killed and 12 people were wounded.
