Iraq: suspected Sunni insurgents kill 11 Iraqi police recruits near Syrian border Tue. May 20, 2008 01:38 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. - (SomaliNet) In the first deadly attack since Iraqi forces launched a major sweep against Al Qaida fighters in the region, suspected Sunni insurgents ambushed a minibus carrying Iraqi police recruits near the Syrian border on Monday, killing all 11 passengers, Iraqi officials said. Agencies reported that the gunfire came hours after Iraqi officials said they arrested a man suspected of being Al Qaida in Iraq's chief leader in the northern city of Mosul, the terror network's most prominent urban stronghold. The attack, the bloodiest in months against police, left the minibus riddled with bullets in the desert west of Mosul, where the crackdown has been centred. Some Al Qaida fighters are believed to have fled the city toward neighbouring Syria.-AP News Category: World Latest Headlines Latest News East Africa threatened by soaring food prices-O...
