21 die as insurgents target Iraqis
2004-12-05
Terrorists Guerrillas have shot dead 17 Iraqis working for the US army and killed a National Guard commander and three bodyguards in attacks north of Baghdad, which take the toll from three days of violence to more than 70. Insurgents have launched a series of attacks in Sunni areas since Friday, mainly targeting Iraqi security forces and civilians working with the US military. The US 1st Infantry Division says gunmen in two cars have opened fire on two civilian buses carrying Iraqis to work at an arms dump outside Tikrit. As well as the 17 killed, 13 Iraqis have been wounded.

In a separate incident, a suicide car bomber detonated his vehicle beside a National Guard convoy in the rebel stronghold of Baiji. That attack has killed local National Guard commander Mohammed Jassim Rumaied and three of his bodyguards. On Saturday, a suicide bomber targeted a bus carrying Kurdish peshmerga fighters in the city of Mosul, killing 16 people. The peshmerga have been helping secure Mosul since most of the city's police fled after an insurgent onslaught last month. Two suicide bombers also struck at a police station just outside the fortified Green Zone in Baghdad on Saturday, killing seven people and wounding more than 50.

The Iraqis need to start whacking as many of these jihadinuts as they can, with or without our help. The more they kill, the sooner they can live in peace. They should start with the nutjobs that preach violence every Friday.
