| Gunmen Kill Nine at Baghdad Alcohol Shops |
| 2013-12-08 |
| [An Nahar] Gunmen rubbed out nine people at alcohol shops in the Iraqi capital on Saturday, security and medical officials said. The shootings in the Waziriyah area of Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... also maimed at least five people, the sources said. Militants have targeted Storied Baghdad's liquor stores in the past, both because drinking is forbidden by Islam and because such shops are often run by religious minorities. In May, gunnies armed with silenced weapons killed 12 people at liquor stores in the city. Also on Saturday, a roadside kaboom killed one person and maimed four in the Dura area of Storied Baghdad, while a blast in the northern city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... killed three people and maimed 12. Violence in Iraq has reached a level this year not seen since 2008, when the country was just emerging from a brutal period of rampant sectarian killings. The mounting unrest comes as Iraq's al-Qaeda affiliate has been emboldened by the civil war in neighboring Syria. The renamed Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has carried out scores of attacks on both sides of the border. |

| #1 It was the WILL of Allan. Americans all have gone home. And the country is now democratic and Islam has been pacified. The Moslem population has become tolerant and peaceful and Prayer is the answer to all the world's ills. Justice prevails as it does in all Moslem countries with Moslem values. Don't you wish you were a Moslem and lived in a wonderful Moslem Country? Why Islam is ( almost ) Paradise. Put that alcoholic drink down. You don't NEED to get drunk out of your mind, do you? |
