Iraq anti-terror officer, family killed

“Gunmen used silenced pistols to kill Captain Mahmud Abid, his wife and his three children yesterday (Friday) evening in their home in Kadhimiyah,” an interior ministry official said on condition of anonymity on Saturday.

A medical official also said that all the children were less than 10 years old.

According to Iraqi officials, at least 15 people lost their lives in violent attack across the country during the past two days, AFP reported.

In April, 126 Iraqis were killed in attacks nationwide, compared with 112 in previous month.

It is widely believed that the increasing attacks are part of an anti-Iraq plot to show that the Baghdad government is incapable of protecting Iraqis.
