BAGHDAD, Nov. 7
(Xinhuanet) -- Three Iraqi officials from the eastern province of Diyala have
been found killed in the rebellious area south of Baghdad, local police said
Sunday.
The three officials, Diyala's deputy governor Jassim
Mohammed, Diyala provincial council member Shahab Makki, and deputy head of
Baquba municipality Duraid Fadel, were killed and their bodies were found in the
restive area of Latifiya, some 50 km south of Baghdad, police
said.
The victims were on their way to the holy city of
Najaf for the burial of the mayor of Hebheb who was killed by gunmen on
Thursday.
Insurgents frequently target Iraqi government officials who are seen as collaborators with the US-led forces. Enditem |
