Seven Killed in Separate Iraq Attacks
2013-05-08
[An Nahar] Shootings and bombings in Iraq, including one targeting a provincial council member, killed seven people and maimed two others on Tuesday, security and medical officials said.

A magnetic "sticky bomb" went kaboom! against the car of Thanaa al-Massouli, a provincial councilor in the northern city of djinn-infested Mosul, killing her driver but leaving her unharmed, the officials said.

In a separate incident in the center of djinn-infested Mosul, gunnies killed a policeman, while two roadside kabooms left a policeman and a woman maimed in another attack in the city.

Two people were killed in the Bayaa area of Storied Baghdad
...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate...
by gunnies who used guns with silencers, while another group of gunnies killed a police officer in Fallujah,
... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperity or a really nice place to raise your kids...
west of Storied Baghdad, sources said.

In another attack in Baquba, north of Storied Baghdad, gunnies killed Ali al-Obeidi, who ran in last month's provincial elections with premier Nuri al-Maliki's State of Law coalition.

A policeman who was travelling in the car with Obeidi was also killed.

With the latest attacks, 71 people have been killed in violence so far this month in Iraq, more than a third of them police officials, according to Agence La Belle France Presse figures based on security and medical sources.
