Killings Go On As Insurgents Target Shiites - Scotsman.com
<snip>

The worst insurgent attack occurred in a mostly Sunni region south of Baghdad known as the Triangle of Death.

About nine militants barged into a building materials factory near Iskandariyah, 30 miles south of Baghdad, lined up all the workers and forced the six Shiite ones to identify themselves, said police Lt Colonel Khalil Mohammed.

The militants then tied up the hands of Shiites, shot them to death in front of the other workers, and fled in several stolen company cars.

Insurgents opened fire on a police checkpoint near the Hai Al-Adil highway in a western Baghdad, killing four policemen and wounding 11, said police Capt Qassim Hassan. The fighting continued for several hours.

1. Don't worry, the Shiites have death squads, too
Only theirs wear uniforms.
