Fourteen Shiite men and women have been killed in an area south of Iraq's capital, Baghdad, known as the "triangle of death". In the latest outbreak of violence, 14 people believed to be from a single Shiite family were found shot to death in their home in Mamudiyah. "Armed men broke into their home and their bodies were then taken by minibus to a police checkpoint in Latifiyah," a security official said. Another security source says the victims are "Shiites living in the midst of Sunnis".
