| via Rooters Sat 10 July, 2004 09:02 Masked militants have bombed five shops selling alcohol in a town northeast of Baghdad, killing an Iraqi taxi driver who was passing by, police sources and witnesses say. They said four men in two BMW cars blocked a main road in Baquba, a town of both Shi’ite and Sunni Muslims, and planted explosives at the shop doors before detonating them. An Iraqi taxi driver, approaching in his car from a side road, was killed by the blast in the early hours of Saturday morning, they added. The owners were not in their shops at the time. Alcohol merchants in Iraq, particularly in the southern city of Basra, have been killed and threatened by Muslim groups who strongly oppose alcohol sales. Did we leave out that seminar on how competition is healthy? |
