Five truck drivers killed by gunmen in western Iraq (Fallujah)
Unidentified gunmen ambushed five trucks travelling near Iraq's restive western city of Fallujah on Friday morning, killing the five drivers, a local police source said.

The trucks were travelling on the highway west of Fallujah at around 8:00 a.m. (0400 GMT) when gunmen stopped the vehicles, pulled out the drivers and riddled them with bullets before setting the trucks on fire, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

The motive of the attack was not clear and the police were investigating the incident, he added.

In another incident, one person was killed and another kidnapped when men dressed in Iraqi army uniforms attacked a house in Al-Jahar village near the town of Madain, 25 kilometers (15 miles) south of baghdad.

"The gunmen stormed the house, dragged the two men out and killed one of them in front of the house and took away the other," a police officer said.



An Iraqi army soldier was also shot dead by gunmen in the northern town of Hawija, while an employee of the Northern Gas Company was similary shot dead near the oil city of Kirkuk, police said.
