| 2011-05-08 |
| [Iran Press TV] Unknown gunnies have raided two foreign exchange shops in Iraq's northeastern city of Baquba, north of the capital, killing six people and injuring 9 others. The assailants killed three people in each shop before stealing money and fleeing away on Saturday, AFP reported. Another report said they stole 4 billion Iraqi dinar (USD 3.4 million) and killed prominent businessman Adnan al-Mandalawi. The attackers blew up an explosive-laden vehicle, when the police arrived at the scene, injuring four civilians and five coppers. Iraq grapples with violence despite the presence of thousands of United States troopers on the country's soil. |
