At Least 8 Killed by Car Bomb, Sunni Cleric Abducted
Good Morning,
A car bomb exploded outside a Sunni Muslim mosque Friday in Baghdad, killing at least eight people, officials said. Masked gunmen appeared at the scene later, firing randomly at people near the blast-damaged building.
An Associated Press photographer saw at least two bystanders gunned down by the masked men, one of whom held a pistol to the head of a woman.
A Sunni cleric also was abducted from his home in the capital by armed men wearing Interior Ministry police uniforms, his relatives said.
It was the latest kidnapping of a Sunni Arab by men wearing uniforms of the security forces, amid rising claims by the once-dominant minority that Shiite-led Interior Ministry forces and militiamen are targeting them in a widening campaign of sectarian violence.
Have a nice day.
