More Than 100 Killed in Iraq Following Mosque Attack
Thursday, February 23, 2006
BAGHDAD, Iraq — More than 100 people died on Thursday in widespread violence across Iraq, including a roadside bombing that killed four U.S. soldiers, as the number of Sunni mosques attacked rose to 168 following the bombing of a holy Shiite shrine and discussions on forming a unity government were suspended amid the strife.
Gunmen in Baqouba stopped three buses carrying factory workers, forced them out of the vehicles northeast of Baghdad and killed 47 of them, a provincial council member said.
The buses had been stopped at a checkpoint in the Nahrawan area, about 12 miles south of Baqouba, said Dhari Thuban, a member of the Diyala Provincial Council, before being burned and their passengers killed.
The motive for the killing was not immediately clear.
At least 47 other bodies were found scattered across Iraq, many of them shot execution-style and dumped in Shiite-dominated parts of Baghdad.
Three journalists working for Al-Arabiya television were found dead in Samarra, the site of Wednesday's Askariya mosque attack. Al-Arabiya is viewed in Iraq as favoring the United States.
In addition, four soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division were killed when their vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb north of Baghdad, the U.S. military said Thursday.
