| [An Nahar] Gunmen armed with silenced weapons rubbed out 12 people at alcohol shops in the Iraqi capital on Tuesday, while four people died in other attacks, security and medical officials said. The gunnies, who were travelling in four vehicles, restrained federal coppers at a checkpoint in the Zayouna area of Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... , an interior ministry official said. They then rubbed out 12 people in multiple adjoining alcohol shops nearby, the ministry official said. A medical official confirmed the toll. With alcohol forbidden by Islam, Storied Baghdad liquor stores are an attractive target for fundamentalist groups, made more so because they are often staffed by religious minorities. In other violence on Tuesday, gunnies killed an anti-Qaeda militiaman along with his brother in Fallujah, ... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperityor a really nice place to raise your kids... west of Storied Baghdad, while a boom-mobile in the northern city of djinn-infested Mosul killed a child and maimed 14 people, police and doctors said. And gunnies killed anti-government protest organizer Abdulrahman al-Badri near the city of Baquba, north of Storied Baghdad, officials said. |
