Iraqi gunmen kill 14 breaking Ramadan fast
2013-07-11
[NEWS.BRISBANETIMES.AU] Gunmen overran an Iraqi army checkpoint and opened fire on a trailer packed with coppers breaking their Ramadan fast, killing 14 in the country's restive western Anbar province.

The attack happened at sundown Wednesday as the troops were marking the end of the first day of fasting during the Mohammedan holy month of Ramadan.

It was the latest in a string of brazen strikes by hard boyz in which more than 2600 people have been killed since the start of April.

Gunmen launched their assault on the army checkpoint near the town of Barwana, which lies across the Euphrates River from the town of Haditha, about 220km northwest of Storied Baghdad
...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate...
. Barwana's mayor, Meyasser Abdul-Mohsin, said three soldiers were killed and four were maimed in that attack.
