| Iraqi Baath militias massacre family in Baghdad |

| Baghdad, April 8, IRNA -- Militias of Iraq's ruling Baath party and the so-called Saddam's Fedayeen massacred six members of a family in Baghdad on Monday. Jassem Hassan, his three sons, and two of his brothers had apparently cheered the approach of Saddam's demise before they were shot dead by the militia in their residence, eastern Baghdad. Hassan's wife was injured and was transferred to hospital for treatment. Frustrated over their fate, the pro-Saddam forces have resorted to the harshest measures against the people who are critical of the regime. Similar incidents had earlier been reported in Iraq's southern city of Basra as well as Kerbala. Humm, I'm beginning to see a trend in these IRNA stories. |
