Gunmen wearing military uniforms surrounded a village north of Baghdad early
Wednesday and executed 17 men, police said.
Police Lt. Waleed al-Hayali from the area of Taaji, 10 miles north of
Baghdad, said the gunmen detained the victims after searching the village. They
were handcuffed and blindfolded and were later shot at a site about 1 mile from
the village.
The dead were members of the Tameem tribe, al-Hayali said. The gunmen looted
the village before fleeing.
