| Masked gunmen abducted Monday members of the Awakening (Al-Sahwa) militia members in Al-Sha'ab area, east of the capital. A security source told KUNA that the abduction has occurred at Sahwa checkpoint in Al-Sha'ab area. The source went on saying that the police were investigating the incident which could be consider the second operation targeting Sahwa members after less than 24 hours from the Al-A'adhamiya bombing which claim the lives of about 24 Iraqis and sent 47 others to the hospital for sustaining serious wounds. Attacks against Sahwa members increase lately after Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden called his henchmen to boost operations against Iraqi Sahwa militias. |
