| 2013-08-10 |
| [An Nahar] Attacks killed four people in Iraq on Friday, officials said, as Mohammedans marked the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan which has been one the bloodiest in years. More than 800 people were killed in attacks during Ramadan, which began in the second week of July and ended this week. Militants have struck targets ranging from cafes where Iraqis gather after breaking their daily Ramadan fast, to mosques where extended evening prayers are held during the month. On Friday, gunnies killed two anti-al-Qaeda gunnies and maimed two others near Baiji, north of Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... The Sahwa, who joined forces with the U.S. from late 2006 and helped turn the tide of the war against the insurgency, are frequently targeted by Sunni bad boys, who consider them traitors. Gunmen also killed a farmer near Baquba, north of Storied Baghdad, while a magnetic "sticky bomb" killed a man and maimed his wife in the capital. And in Fallujah, ... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperityor a really nice place to raise your kids... west of Storied Baghdad, a jacket wallah attempted to attack a police checkpoint but was shot by security forces. The explosives the bomber was carrying still detonated, wounding two coppers and a civilian. |
