Sunni gunmen rampage through Iraqi city
Edited on Sun Nov-19-06 05:36 PM by ECH1969
Sunni insurgents have swept through parts of the city of Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, attacking a police checkpoint and shooting residents after dragging them from their homes and cars.

Police said the latest violence began when gunmen attacked a police checkpoint, killing two policemen and wounding two. They then spread through the town, pulling people from their homes or cars and shooting them in the head after blindfolding them.

Sunni insurgents, including al-Qaeda Islamists, dominate Baquba, capital of Diyala province.

Separately, gunmen loyal to Shi'ite cleric and militia commander Moqtada al-Sadr burned shops in a market in reprisal for an attack on their offices in the town, police said.
