Six Iraqi civilians killed by armed groups
2006-07-06
(KUNA) -- Six Iraqi civilians were killed on Wednesday from fire by armed groups south west of Kirkuk; police meanwhile discovered two missiles ready for launch inside the city. Iraqi police Brigadier Sarhad Qader told KUNA armed groups using a car shot at another car in Al-Oasi village where they killed four, however they were transferred to hospital. "Unknown armed group using a sedan opened fire and killed two civilians in another village close to Kirkuk," the Brigadier added.

Qader also said one civilian was injured when an explosion targeted a civilian car close to Zaiton Bridge in the Huwaja area. Brigadier Qader added an improvised car bomb exploded earlier today when an envoy carrying Iraqi civil defense director was passing by in the city. Iraqi police said the director was not injured, however, three civilians were.

#1  Seems to be an awful lot of incidental killing going on in the Kirkuk region. Possible Sunnis trying to run the Kurds out of town? This stuff is hard to stop, but I'm sure the Kurds will manage - eventually.
