Gunmen Kill Two Police in Northern Iraqi City; Protest Over Killing of Hamas Founder Turns Violent

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Gunmen killed two policemen and wounded two others near their station Tuesday in the northern city of Kirkuk, Iraqi authorities said. West of Baghdad, U.S. soldiers fired shots to disperse a violent protest against Israel's killing of Hamas founder Ahmed Yassin.


The slain twin brothers were shot by assailants in a car in Kirkuk, north of the capital, police Capt. Abdul-Salam Zangana said. He identified the brothers as Ahmed and Mohammed Kadhim. The attack occurred as the police parked their car in a main square and worshippers left a nearby mosque.

Rebels often target police and other Iraqis who work with the U.S.-led coalition that is governing Iraq.

In Ramadi, U.S. soldiers and Iraqi police fired shots after protesters burned two police cars and two hand grenades were thrown at a government building, witnesses said. At least two police and three protesters were injured.

3. Amazing
The ingenuity of these Iraqis. Who'd have thought they'd have invented flower filled hand grenades?

6. CNN is claiming
that the protest is a direct response to the recent Israeli assasination of the Hamas leader.
