Eight people killed, Iraqi security forces kill 1 and arrest 16
2006-09-20
(KUNA) -- Iraqi police said on Tuesday that eight people have died while at the same time Iraqi security forces killed and arrested 17 armed men when also the discovery of unknown dead bodies continues in Baghdad.
Probably that sentence made more sense before it was translated...
A statement by Dayali police information and relations office said that unknown armed men have killed an Iraqi policeman and injured three others in an attack on their patrol close to the correctional institution in Baqouba city. Another police officer has been injured in the Souq area in Baqouba, while at the same time two civilians were injured in two separate attacks in the Al-Maqdadya town.

On another front, unknown gunmen attacked a civilian vehicle in the Al-Khales town north of Baqouba which resulted in the killing of four civilians, among them two women, and injury of five others.

In addition, a statement by the commanding officer of the Iraqi armed forces said that security forces have killed one terrorist and arrested 16 others in raid operations in several areas of the capital and Al-Ramadi. Iraqi police also said they have discovered 20 unidentified dead bodies in the Al-Kazemeya, Al-Shaab, and Al-Hurrya, Hai Al-Aamel in Baghdad, adding that all bodies showed indications of shot gun and torture.
