Six from one family slain in Iraq
BAGHDAD -- Gunmen burst into the home of a professor and killed six members of his extended family, security sources said. The professors widow and two teenage daughters were also seriously wounded, a military source said, adding that the attack took place overnight in a southern district on the outskirts of Baghdad that is predominantly Sunni Arab.A police source said the dead were two girls aged four and 14, two boys aged six and nine, a man and a woman. They were all related, but their relation to the dead professor or to each other was not immediately clear, the sources said. Extended families in Iraq frequently live in the same home. All the victims are from the family of a professor who was killed in a terrorist attack last year, the military source said. The wounded women are the late professors widow and two daughters, who were less than 20 years old, he added. Posted by: Steve White 2011-04-06 |
