| At Least 11 Dead in Attack on Iraq Police Station |
| 2004-06-24 |
| At least 11 Iraqis were killed (note; each time these Muslim terrorists increase their toll of ’fellow’ Muslims) Thursday when insurgents attacked a police station in the town of Baquba with assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades, witnesses said. They said the black-clad gunmen continued to roam around Baquba, 40 miles northeast of the capital, and had taken control of the town’s main intersection, attacking any Iraqi police or U.S. troops they encountered. Gunmen attacked a police patrol car carrying at least three policemen, witnesses said. The number of casualties could not immediately be confirmed but they were mainly police and civilians. (Smells like Iran once more) Residents said they did not know the gunmen, many of whom wore yellow headbands bearing the name of a Muslim militant group called "Saraya al-Tawhid and Jihad" (Battalions of Unification and Holy War). The name is close to that of the Jama’at al-Tawhid and Jihad group led by Jordanian-born militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, which has claimed responsibility for many attacks in Iraq, including this week’s beheading of a South Korean hostage. |
