BAGHDAD, Iraq - Gunmen killed the head of a state-run teacher's institute as he left a mosque after prayers, police said Saturday, an attack in apparent retribution for his refusal to stop working for Iraqi authorities.

Militants had previously warned Ismail al-Kilabi, the head of the Mahmoudiyah Teachers Institute, 20 miles south of Baghdad, to quit his job after the transfer of power from U.S. occupation forces to the interim government, police Lt. Ala'a Hussein said.


Iraqi militants have increasingly targeted police and other Iraqi officials they deem collaborators with coalition forces as part of their 15-month-old insurgency.


Early Saturday, two mortars exploded in a garden in northern Baghdad's Shalchia suburb, injuring two sleeping children, hospital official Dr. Taleb Mustafa said.
