Two mortar rounds on Tuesday slammed into the capital's Abu Chir
neighborhood where Iraqi and U.S. forces have been concentrated under
a massive new security crackdown, officials said.
Two children, a man and a woman were killed from separate families,
while another 14 people, again women and children included, were
ferried to hospital with injuries from the attack, the sources said.
A roadside bomb attack killed an Iraqi policeman in southeast
Baghdad, while another police officer was killed in a gun attack in
the heart of the capital.
A local soldier was killed by an insurgent sniper in central Baghdad
and four civilians were hospitalized following a mortar attack near
the finance ministry.
South of Baghdad, another four people died in Iskandiriyah when
unidentified gunmen opened fire on a funeral cortege, said Iraqi army
officer Mohammed al-Tahi.
Elsewhere two elderly Armenian women who had lived in Kirkuk for
years were shot dead when gunmen broke into their house early Tuesday
in Kirkuk, said police Captain Imad Jassim. One of the women was aged
80 and the other in her 60s, the officer said.
In a separate incident, two car bombs exploded near the home of a
tribal leader in the Abu Ghraib district west of Baghdad on Tuesday,
killing the man's son and several other people
Iraqiya state television said there were many casualties.
Sheikh Thahir al-Dari, whose home was targeted, is the head of the
al-Zobaie tribe, which is the same as that of Deputy Prime Minister
Salam al-Zobaie. The deputy prime minister was the target of an
assassination bid last week.
