baquba • Nine Iraqi civilians, including two university lecturers and a human rights worker, were shot dead yesterday in and around the flashpoint mixed town of Baquba.
Baquba, 60km north of Baghdad, is the capital of Diyala province and is in the grip of a vicious dirty war between rival Sunni and Shi’ite death squads.
Two lecturers from the University of Diyala, Karim Salman and Mohammed Abdulredha, were shot dead in their car by unidentified gunmen as they left work, a police officer said.
Six more local civilians were killed in separate shootings in markets and on roadsides around Baquba and Bohruz, just south of the town, he added.
Officers also found the bullet-riddled body of Ibrahim Jawad Rubaie in his car. Rubaie was carrying an identity card from the Iraqi National Committee for Human Rights, the officer said.
The killings came amid high tensions in Iraq on the eve of the anniversary of the death of a revered Shiite imam.
