13 Killed in Iraq and 10 Police Kidnapped From Ramadi

Violent clashes took place in Iraq, on Saturday, making it four straight days of deadly attacks. In three separate attacks, thirteen people were killed.

Four militia members were killed in Garma, when their headquarters was attacked by gunmen. A car bomb struck in Latifiya, killing five.

Four people were killed there when the army made a raid and clashed with tribal forces near Ramadi. Gunmen then kidnapped ten Sunni police officers.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks or kidnappings, but the government believes that Shiite groups were involved. Al Qaeda and other Shiite groups have been working to bring the government down. Over the last four days, one hundred and thirty-two people have been killed, mostly by car bombings.
