Insurgents continued a string of attacks Saturday against Iraqi police and
civilians, leaving at least six dead.
Three Fallujah police officers were found fatally shot in the nearby town of
Karma, 10 kilometers (6 miles) east of Falluja on Saturday, said police 1st Lt.
Mohammed Ibrahim from Fallujah.
The victims - identified as 1st Lt. Mahir al Dulaimi, Lt. Ali Abdullah
and Sgt. Aziz Jehanhad - had traveled to Karma three days ago and their
families lost contact with them, he said.
In Baghdad, unknown gunmen traveling in two cars opened fire and killed a
Ministry of Interior police employee Friday night, police Capt. Mohammed
al-Obeidi said Saturday. Lt. Col. Abdul Qadir Wahab was killed in his car on his
way home, he said.
In separate attacks, gunmen ambushed several Iraqi police patrols throughout
Baghdad Saturday, injuring three officers, police said.
The morning attacks occurred in the eastern neighborhood of New Baghdad,
southern Dora and western Seidiyah, police said.
A blindfolded, bullet-filled corpse of a man in his 50s was found just
outside Baghdad, said police Lt. Col Sabah Hameed. The man had died some time
ago, he said.
On Friday night, police discovered the body of the third of three brothers
abducted in northern Baghdad earlier this week. Two corpses had already been
found on Thursday, according to 1st Lt. Thair Mahmoud Saturday. Two of the
brothers were police officers while the third was a Muslim
imam.
