Gunmen massacre Shi'ite family in Iraq village

BAQUBA, Iraq, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Iraqi police found the bodies of 21 men and boys from an extended Shi'ite family on Saturday hours after they were abducted from a mainly Sunni Arab village northeast of Baghdad, security sources said.

The victims in Shamafiya, a village just outside the town of Balad Ruz, 70 km (45 miles) northeast of the capital in violent Diyala province, ranged in age from 12 upward.

Residents and a security source said the apparently sectarian attack involved gunmen wearing Iraqi army uniforms who took the al-Saadi family late on Friday before killing them and dumping their bodies nearby. The bodies were found blindfolded, each corpse with gunshot wounds to the head and chest.

3. The number of people showing up with guns and Iraqi army

uniforms is one of the first things that struck me too. Are there stores where they can just go buy them? Didn't I read where the damn things were just changed because every one intent on rape, robbery, and murder has one?
