INSURGENTS EXECUTE SCHOOL TEACHERS
By SABRINA TAVERNISE
Published: September 26, 2005
BAGHDAD, Iraq, Sept. 26 -A group of armed men burst into a primary school in a town south of Baghdad today, rounded up five teachers, marched them to an empty classroom and executed them, a police official said. All of those killed were Shiite.
A string of attacks across Iraq today left at least 16 people dead, including a suicide car bomb attack at a government ministry.
School was just getting out in Muilha, a suburb of Iskandariya, a town about 30 miles south of Baghdad, when about 10 gunmen dressed in police uniforms entered the building at 1:15 p.m. and shot the teachers, all men. As the gunmen fled the building, they also shot and killed the teachers' driver, who was waiting outside to take them home. [ah...such noble freedom fighters]
While Iraqis are tormented by daily attacks, teachers have rarely, if ever, been the targets. The killing was particularly cruel as it took place while some children were still at the school, called al-Jazeera, and raised fears that schools, largely unprotected here, could become a new target.
The attack was the most startling in a string of violence in and around Baghdad that left 16 people dead, including three American soldiers and a number of laborers in a minivan.
Shiite civilians of all types have been singled out in recent months, and the police official, who identified himself as Captain Abu al-Hars, said the killing appeared to have been motivated more by sectarian hatred than by the victims' profession.
Rifts between Iraq's two main religious groups have deepened considerably since January, when Shiite religious parties were elected to head the government, leaving Sunnis with a minor role. Tensions have hardened as Iraq prepares to hold a national referendum next month on a new cons ution that is largely opposed by Sunni Arabs.
Sunni Arab radicals carry out the waves of attacks, and have explicitly called for the killings of Iraqi Shiites in recent weeks.
Muilha is a predominantly Sunni Arab suburb set in the heart of an area south of Baghdad known as the "Triangle of Death," where sectarian violence has been particularly intense. The area has been relentlessly attacked, most recently on Sunday when a suicide bomber blew himself up near a Shiite shrine in Musayyib, killing six people. In July a suicide bombing in that city, about 40 miles south of Baghdad, killed 71 people.
Many of the Sunni Arabs in the area were given favors by Saddam Hussein, who was trying to build a buffer against the Shiite south, and are bitterly opposed to Shiite power.
Three of the teachers were from Muhawil, a Shiite town north of Hilla, an Interior Ministry official said. They had apparently taken some safety precautions, banding together in a minivan that ferried them to and from work a distance of about 15 miles. But schools in Iraq are poorly protected - without blast walls and usually with only a handful of security guards, and the teachers did not stand a chance. The attackers drove up in two Opels, one white and one silver, Captain Abu al-Hars said. They appeared to have selected the only male teachers in the school. The female teachers were unharmed.
In the attacks on the Americans, the American command said in a statement that a military policeman was killed 50 miles southeast of Baghdad, while two American soldiers were killed when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb in western Baghdad.
Also today, a suicide bomber detonated his car at the gates of the Iraqi police academy, killing at least seven people and wounding 30 in the second attack in as many days on Iraqi police officers. Among the dead were two policemen and five civilians, several of whom were oil ministry laborers riding in a minivan.
Also today, American forces opened fire on a minibus, an Interior Ministry spokesman said, killing one passenger and wounding four. The spokesman said an Egyptian telecommunications employee was kidnapped when his car was intercepted.
Reporting for this article was contributed by Robert F. Worth, Omar al-Neami and Thaier Aldaami from Baghdad, an Iraqi employee of The New York Times from Kirkuk, and Christine Hauser from New York.

good one!
Those gosh, darn freedom fighters!
I don't get it, is Jelly saying they were American troops dressed up as Islamtic fighters who did this? Maybe they were Brits? Who the knows anymore?
what's not to get? The gunmen....er no...terrorists were Iraqi insurgents.
Here's another link. I picked it just for you since I know you like to see dead bodies. But don't get too excited, the body of the teacher is placed respectfully in his coffin, nothing repulsive or gruesome to feast your eyes on. Sorry.

BAGHDAD, Iraq Sep 26, 2005 — Insurgents dragged five Shiite Muslim schoolteachers and their driver into a classroom, lined them against a wall and gunned them down Monday slayings in Iraq's notorious Triangle of Death that reflect the enflamed sectarian divisions ahead of a crucial cons utional referendum.
The shooting was a rare attack on a school amid Iraq's relentless violence, and it was particularly stunning since the gunmen targeted teachers in a school where the children were mainly Sunnis.
Oh, I get it, since I am anti-War, to you I am naturally anti-American. Very clever.
Great turnaround there.
Anti-American? Drop the political persecution act Dan. Paranoia will destroya. In my entire life, I don't think I've ever accused anyone of being anti-American. I do believe you sympathize with and support the cause of these vile people though. And if you and that deranged Sheehan get your way, there will be hundreds of thousands of teachers, doctors, laborers, policemen and everyday citizens of Iraq who will be similarly dragged out of their workplaces in broad daylight, lined up against the wall and shot.Oh, I get it, since I am anti-War, to you I am naturally anti-American. Very clever.
Great turnaround there.
Seriously Jelly, what an idiotic way to make your point. Nbadan has his shortcomings but you go and make personal attacks because he's against the war? What does that say about you? Being against the war does not necessarily mean being in favor of those murdering bas s.
I don't have a problem with Dan or anyone else being against the war. (I was against the war.) I have a problem with Dan's radical, deranged, unhinged political diatribes with which he bombards this board. Hey. It's a political board. He has the right. And I have the right to take shots at him.
You do, you do have the right, that is true. I've read plenty of what Dan has said, some things I agree with, some things i don't agree with, but I will say this, I have rarely seen him take to personal insults to prove his point. Its true he is overzealous with his whole anti-war crusade, probably to a fault more times than not, but he rarely insults. You should think about that next time you feel like insulting him. Who comes out more credible I wonder?
not insult NBADan?? What am I... Mother Theresa??!
sigh.....okay....okay....I was a little mean. Geeez. But Manumania, If I want someone to lay a guilt trip on me, I'll call my mom
In the end you can look at stories like these and it ain't just Americans, it's anybody who has a different political agenda different than there own.
nbadan goes beyond insulting other posters he incessantly insults the POTUS.sigh.....okay....okay....I was a little mean. Geeez. But Manumania, If I want someone to lay a guilt trip on me, I'll call my mom
That being the case I wouldn't put too much stock in Manu's lecture.
he insults the potus
LOL
i hope so
thats why dan is the
Terrorism? This looks like it was a race killing, and they have been killing each other for years

oh why.. did you let that happen Buuuush..??
Oh and Cheney too!
I'm not sure how to interpret that...
It wasn't meant to be a guilt trip, I just felt your argument would have been much better supported if it didn't rely on insulting Dan that's all. I do agree you have a very valid argument though, I too feel those guys are nothing more than vicious murderers, s .sigh.....okay....okay....I was a little mean. Geeez. But Manumania, If I want someone to lay a guilt trip on me, I'll call my mom
You must not pay attention if you don't think Dan insults people.
it is because always sides with the terrorists...
Whoever holds terrorists as their heroes has a distorted, hazy, imprecise, fuzzy (or most probably, ed up) view of this World.
