Nine killed in violence in Iraq Baghdad, Jan. 7 (AP): Gunmen killed three Sunni Muslim shopkeepers Sunday in a mixed neighborhood of Baghdad, and a Shiite cleric and his son were shot dead as sectarian violence continued to rage across Iraq. The shopkeepers were killed in Baghdad's southwestern Baya district. Two cars of gunmen screeched through the neighborhood's main marketplace, opening fire on wholesalers peddling food, clothing and housewares, a police officer said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. One person was also injured. In eastern Baghdad, a roadside bomb missed an Iraqi police patrol but killed two pedestrians and wounded two others, police said. Nearby, police said drive-by shooters sprayed bullets at four guards for the Iraqi finance ministry, killing one and injuring two others. In Diwaniyah, 130 kilometres south of the capital, gunmen assassinated Akeel al-Khalidi, a defense ministry employee, as he left his house for work, another police officer said on condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisals. A provincial council member in Hillah, about 95 kilometres south of Baghdad, was injured in an assassination attempt on his way to work, police said. Abdul-Razaq al-Nasrawi and his driver were hospitalized. In Mahaweel, about 56 kilometres south of Baghdad, gunmen in a speeding car shot and killed a Shiite cleric and his son as they were heading to a nearby Shiite shrine, the same police officer said. Another roadside bomb went off near an American military convoy in Iskandariyah, 50 kilometres south of Baghdad, damaging one Humvee, police said. There was no word on casualties, and U.S. troops sealed off the area. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
