Militants clad in military uniform slaughter 29 Iraqis
Compiled by Daily Star staff
Wednesday, July 18, 2007
At least 49 people were killed Iraq Tuesday among them 29 who were slaughtered by men wearing Iraqi military uniforms in the restive Iraqi province of Diyala northeast of Baghdad.
In Baghdad, a suicide car bomb targeting an Iraqi army patrol killed 20 people and wounded 20 in the mixed Zayyouna area, police said. At least four soldiers were among the dead. The blast near the Iranian Embassy occurred in late morning a few hundred meters north of the Green Zone, sending a huge cloud of black smoke over the city. Three civilians also were wounded, said police.
In Diyala, armed men stormed Duwailiyya village overnight and massacred men, women and children, Colonel Raghib Rawi al-Omaili, spokesman for the Iraqi military in Diyala told AFP. "Twenty-nine villagers were killed and four were wounded in the terrorist attack on the village of Duwailiyya," al-Omaili said. "The gunmen were wearing Iraqi military uniforms to confuse the victims."
The attack was grimly reminiscent of a similar assault in May in the remote village of Qara Lus in the same province, when gunmen disguised as soldiers dragged 16 villagers from their homes and shot them dead.
Diyala, the second most dangerous region in Iraq after Baghdad, is currently the target of a major US-led operation focused largely on the provincial capital of Baqouba.
But as troops have pushed through the city, militants appear to have fled to the hinterlands, carrying out attacks against remote towns and villages.
Meanwhile, in the latest massive assault following a surge of reinforcements into Baghdad and surrounding areas, more than 9,000 US and Iraqi troops led by marines flooded into the western Sunni Anbar province.
Operation Mawtini (My Homeland) began on Sunday and aims to "neutralize any future attempts by anti-Iraqi forces to re-establish a presence in key urban areas along the Euphrates valley," the military said.

"We anticipate that the terrorists will attempt to step up their attacks in the urban areas to regain power and influence over the population," Colonel Stacy Clardy said in a statement. In his most optimistic remarks since the US troop buildup began, General Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Tuesday that parts of Iraq have undergone a "sea change" in security in recent months, and this will influence his recommendation to President Bush on how long to continue the current strategy.
After conferring with Major General Walter Gaskin and other commanders in Ramadi, the provincial capital west of Baghdad, Pace told reporters that he has gathered a positive picture of the security environment not only here but also in Baghdad, where he began his Iraq visit on Monday.
He was asked whether this would inform his thinking about whether to continue the current strategy, with extra US troops battling to secure Baghdad and Anbar province.
"It will because what I'm hearing now is a sea change that is taking place in many places here," he replied.
"It's no longer a matter of pushing Al-Qaeda out of Ramadi, for example, but rather - now that they have been pushed out - helping the local police and the local army have a chance to get their feet on the ground and set up their systems."
Security has improved in some parts of Iraq in the past few months - owing to the increase in US troops in Baghdad and as some Sunni tribes and armed insurgents have turned against Al-Qaeda.
Pace said a day earlier in Baghdad that the US military is continuing various options for Iraq, including an even bigger troop buildup if President Bush thinks his "surge" strategy needs a further boost. - Agencies

21 Iraqis dead in a fresh wave of violence
(DPA)
14 July 2007
BAGHDAD- A fresh wave of violence gripped Iraq on Saturday leaving at least 21 people dead in two separate incidents south and north of Baghdad, according to local authorities.
In the town of Al Muqdadiyah, on the suburbs on the north-eastern Sunni-dominated Baquba province, 12 Iraqis belonging to one family were killed when a group of unidentified gunmen stormed into their houses and opened fire on them. The attackers fled immediately after the bloodbath, a police source said.
The incident happened even as US Arrowhead Ripper operations and raids continued across Baquba, 60 kilometres north-east of Baghdad. During past weeks, the US military - with the aid of local security forces - had reportedly killed over 100 Al Qaeda-affiliated militants and captured around 250 others.
In another incident, a group of unknown militants attacked at dawn a house in Al Hilla, 100 kilometres south of Baghdad, shooting dead nine people and wounding three others. The victims included a number of women and children, according to police sources.
Meanwhile in the Shia holy city of Najaf, local authorities decided to lift a 24-hour curfew that was imposed early Friday to curb violence and protect Shia pilgrims visiting the Iman Ali shrine.
A spokesman for the city council in Najaf had earlier justified the blanket curfew by saying there was the risk of ‘possible terrorist acts of revenge.’

Suicide attacks leave 73 people dead in Iraq
Updated Sat. Jul. 7 2007 8:30 AM ET
CTV.ca News Staff
At least 73 people have been killed in a series of suicide bombings in Shiite villages north of Baghdad.
In one of the worst attacks a large truck bomb was detonated in an outdoor market Saturday morning, the blast burying victims in the rubble.
The market bombing occurred at about 8:30 a.m., destroying several mud homes in the mainly Shiite Turkomen village of Armili, about 160 kilometres from Baghdad. Farmers' pickup trucks were used to transport the victims to the nearest medical facility, which was 43 kilometres from the site of the strike.
Twenty-five people were killed and 100 wounded were bought to the Tuz Khormato hospital, Saleh Ali, a medic, told The Associated Press.
Villagers said additional victims were still trapped under the rubble of destroyed homes and businesses, and the death toll was expected to continue to rise because many of the injured were considered to be in critical condition.
"Some are still under the rubble with no one to help them. There are no ambulances to evacuate the victims," Haitham Hadad, a resident who evacuated his wounded cousin in his car to Tuz Khormato hospital, told AP.
The hospital was packed with relatives of the victims, many of them weeping as they searched for their family members.
The new strikes come amid reports that six members of the U.S. military were killed in fighting in Baghdad and Anbar province in the west over two days.
While U.S. forces have been focusing their efforts on Baghdad's volatile northern flank in the past three weeks, attempting to slow fighting in the capital, Sunni militants seem to have shifted their campaign to more rural locations.
The string of attacks occurred within hours of each other. On Friday night, a suicide bomber set off a booby-trapped car at 9:30 p.m. outside a cafe in the Shiite Kurdish village of Ahmad Marif roughly 136 kilometres northeast of Baghdad. Twenty-six people were killed and 33 were wounded, a Diyala province security official told AP.
About 30 minutes later, a suicide bomber set off an explosives belt in Zargosh, another Shiite Kurdish village. Twenty-two people were killed and 17 were wounded, according to reports.
Six soldiers killed
On Saturday, the U.S. announced the deaths of six U.S. troops. Most of them occurred in the Baghdad area.
Two were killed Friday in a roadside bombing in east Baghdad.
One U.S. soldier and an Iraqi interpreter were killed Friday when their patrol in southeastern Iraq was attacked.
Two Marines were killed Thursday in western Anbar province and a soldier also died in Baghdad.
One other soldier died Friday though few details have been released about the death, which is still under investigation.
In total, 3,599 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.

ஷியா திருமணத்தில் சுன்னி பயங்கரவாதிகள் தாக்கியதில் 25 பேர் பலி
ஈராக்கில் ஷியா குடும்பத்து திருமணத்தில் சுன்னி தீவிரவாதிகள் வெடிகுண்டு வைத்ததில் 25 பேர் பலியானார்கள். மணப்பெண்ணும் மணமகனும் படுகாயமடைந்தனர்.
டோரா என்ற சுன்னி பகுதிக்குள் இருக்கும் சிறிய ஷியா பிரிவினரின் பகுதியா அபு திஸிரில் இந்த வெடிகுண்டு சம்பவம் நிகழந்துள்ளது.
சுன்னி பயங்கரவாதிகள் ஷியா பிரிவினர் மீது தொடர்ந்து தாக்குதல் நிகழ்த்தி வருகிறார்கள். காரணம் ஈராக்கில் பெரும்பான்மையாக இருக்கும் ஷியா பிரிவினர் தேர்தலில் வென்று ஷியா பெரும்பான்மை அரசை ஜனநாயகம் மூலமாக உருவாக்கியதே. அந்த அரசு தோல்வி அடையவேண்டும் என்று ஷியா பிரிவினரை சுன்னி பிரிவினரும் சுன்னி அரசாக இருந்த சதாம் உசேனின் ஆதரவாளர்களும் தாக்கி வருகிறார்கள்.
Blast targets Iraq wedding party
Explosions in the district have been common in the past months
At least 17 members of a wedding party have been killed in a car bombing in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
At least 25 people, including the bride and groom, were also injured in the blast at about 1845 (1445 GMT) in the southern Shia district of Abu Dshir.
The explosion took place in front of a photo shop where the wedding party had gathered for pictures, according to AP.
An official at Yarmouk hospital, where the victims were taken, said the newlyweds escaped with minor injuries.
Abu Dshir is a Shia enclave in Baghdad's lawless, mainly Sunni, neighbourhood of Dora.

Explosions and mortar attacks in the area have been common in the past months leaving hundreds of people dead or wounded.
The bombing comes amid a major military operation by US and Iraqi forces in the Baghdad area aimed at curbing sectarian unrest.
Popular markets have been walled off, streets closed and the number of checkpoints have been stepped up in a bid to thwart car bomb attacks.
