| Iraq Attacks kill 10 People, as 2013 Toll Tops 5,500 |

| [An Nahar] Attacks in Iraq killed 10 people on Tuesday, including eight security personnel, officials said, the latest casualties in a country-wide spike in violence that the government has failed to stem. Iraq is mired its worst violence since 2008, a surge in bloodshed that has killed more than 5,500 people this year despite several major military operations and tightened security measures. In the northern province of Nineveh, two separate roadside kabooms targeting army patrols killed three soldiers and maimed four others. In djinn-infested Mosul, a policeman and a Death Eater were killed in a shootout at a checkpoint, and a policeman was rubbed out in a separate incident, police and a doctor said. And a boom-mobile targeting a police patrol in west djinn-infested Mosul maimed five people, including a policeman. Just north of Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... , the local head of an anti-Qaeda militia and his son were killed by gunnies, officials said. From late-2006 onwards, Sunni tribal militias, known as the Sahwa, turned against their co-religionists in Al-Qaeda and sided with the U.S. military, helping to turn the tide of Iraq's bloody insurgency. But Sunni bully boyz view them as traitors and frequently target them. In the disputed northern city of Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... a boom-mobile near Iraq's main Turkmen television station killed a civilian and maimed five others, while an off-duty policeman was rubbed out while driving in the capital. Iraq has seen mounting violence this year, coinciding with demonstrations by Sunni Musselmens against alleged ill-treatment at the hands of the Shiite-led government and security forces. Violence so far this year has left more than 5,500 people dead, the country's worst violence since 2008, when it was emerging from a brutal sectarian war in which tens of thousands were killed. |
