6 Killed Execution Style + 22 Killed

Good afternoon,


In the latest violence Friday, six off-duty Iraqi soldiers were captured and shot execution-style outside a restaurant in northern Iraq, police said.

The soldiers were just leaving the restaurant after lunch there when they were seized by a group of unidentified gunmen waiting outside, said police Capt. Arkan Ali. The captives were taken to a nearby street, lined up and shot to death, Ali said.

The attack occurred in the industrial city of Beiji, where the soldiers had stopped en route to their military base in Mosul, 90 miles to the north.

Today at least 22 Iraqis were killed, including six in a car bombing in Tal Afar in western Iraq.



Have a nice day.
