| 2009-04-23 |
| BAGHDAD -- Seven Iraqi goldsmiths were killed by unknown gunmen in Al-Toubaji area near al-Mansour neighborhood eastern Baghdad, police said Sunday. Needing funding, or settling scores? The killed, of the Mandaean faith, were shot down by silencer guns, whereas their stores were robbed afterwards, a security source said. I suppose the bad guys felt the need to be quiet - an improvement of sorts. Baghdad Operations' Command, on the other hand, said it had set up an investigation panel to unveil happenings of the incident. Major General Qassem Atta, Spokesman of the Command, said that the attackers were on board three vehicles when they barged into the stores. |
