IRNA -- Fourteen former Iraqi Ba'ath Party agents have been killed in the last three days in Kirkuk and Khaneqin cities, a security official of the Iraqi Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) said on Saturday. He said the agents were killed by family members of the victims of the former Iraqi government's brutalities. "The security agents have launched a vast operation to identify and arrest those responsible for these revenges in a bid to prevent tribes and groups from settling scores," the official who asked not to be identified said.
