Gunmen Raid Homes, Kill 6 People In Northern Iraq

August 18th, 2012 11:55 am Associated Press

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi officials say gunmen have raided two family homes in a northern Iraqi city, killing six people.

Provincial police officials say the raids took place Saturday in the city of Mosul. In the first attack, four people were killed, including a husband and wife. In the second house, gunmen killed two men.

Local authorities say they are investigating the two attacks. Mosul was once an al-Qaida stronghold. It is about 360 kilometers (225 miles) north of Baghdad.

The attacks came two days after a relentless assault across the country killed at least 93 people and wounded many more in what was the second deadliest day in Iraq since U.S. troops left in December.

    I just can’t get over why so many Arab men cannot settle. I get the feeling that no matter what, these wars will never end and the women and children will suffer till the end of time. I don’t know who is who when it comes to the leaders of certain countries or if there is one at all due to this constant fighting. Look after your wives and children they need you.
