Iraqi insurgents blow up house, 11 killed
2007-07-12
At least 11 people were killed on Wednesday when insurgents herded them into a house in the western village of Karmah and then blew it up, the US military said. “At 1315 today, insurgents conducted what may or may not have been a vendetta attack against civilians in Karmah,” said spokesman Major Jeff Pool. “According to eyewitnesses, two vehicles drove to a house in the village, locked the occupants inside and demolished the house with explosives,” he said.

Iraqi police rescued five people from the rubble but they died of their wounds. In all 11 people were killed and there were no survivors, Pool said. Captain Jamil Abdullah, of the Karmah police, said the house belonged to a judge, Ahmed Ibrahim Abdullah, who was said to be among the dead. The US military could not immediately confirm this.

#2  Karmah is full of home grown insurgents and AQ-types. Not that big of a town, but it produces a lot of trouble. The only thing is has is a ice factory (really) and a town market. I recommend blowing up the whole town.

#1  "This is what will happen to anyone who cooperates with the infidels." Or at least that is the message the story is intended to deliver. It does not even have to be true to be effective either.
