Iraq
Sunni leader says Interior Ministry killed 24 Sunnis in Baghdad
2006-02-05
BAGHDAD - The bodies of 24 Sunni Arabs found on Friday to the west of Baghdad were killed “in cold blood” by forces from the Interior Ministry, Secretary General of the Sunni Iraqi National Dialogue Council Khalaf Al Olayan told a press conference on Saturday.
A lot of score-settling going on.
“Special forces (maghaweer) from the Interior Ministry raided Al Aqsa mosque in Taji during evening prayers and shot inside the mosque unjustifiably,” Al Olayan said. “They arrested nine worshippers and took them to an unknown place ... They were found yesterday killed in the Ghazalia region after being tortured together with 15 other bodies,” he added.

Al Olayan also urged the government of Prime Minister Ibrahim Al Jaafari to take the necessary measures to stop what he termed the ”series of brutality and terror.”

Sunni Arabs had earlier accused forces from the Interior Ministry of abducting and brutally killing Sunni people, including clerics. The ministry has denied these accusations.
I bet it's true. I also bet no ethnic group has clean hands.
