Afp, Baquba
Nine Iraqis from a Shiite village northeast of Baghdad were shot and killed Wednesday as they boarded a minibus to go to work on nearby farms, police said. Two more people were wounded in the drive-by shooting in the village of Abu Saida, northeast Baquba, police added. Police initially said the Iraqis worked on a nearby US military base, but a local village official, Awad Nuri, told AFP they were employed on nearby farms.
