| 2005-12-24 |
| Armed men stormed an Iraqi army post at dawn on Friday, killing 10 soldiers and wounding 20 in an attack that lasted all morning. A civilian motorist was also killed and another wounded by crossfire during the assault on the outpost near Adhaim, 70km north of Baghdad. There was no account of casualties among the gunmen. In a website statement, al-Qaida in Iraq claimed responsibility for the action, which it said started with a suicide car bomb attack on a checkpoint. |
