Four 'foreign nationals' gunned down in Iraq
31/03/2004 - 10:18:38 AM
At least four people, thought to be foreign nationals, were killed when their vehicles came under fire in the Iraqi town of Fallujah today.
Eye witnesses said angry crowds dragged the bodies through the streets, dismembered them and hanged some of the mutilated corpses.
The attack happened at about the same time as a bomb exploded under a US military in the Fallujah region, killing five soldiers.
It was not known whether the two incidents were related.
The gunmen attacked the civilians as they drove by in two civilian 4x4 cars in Fallujah.
The occupants of the cars were killed and their vehicles were set on fire.
Footage from Associated Press Television News showed a charred body of one of the dead men, and the vehicles in flames nearby. Some of the men were wearing flak jackets, said Safa Mohammedi, a resident.
Another resident, Abdul Aziz Mohammed, said angry crowds dragged the bodies through the streets, dismembered them and hanged some of the mutilated corpses.
“The people of Fallujah hanged some of the bodies on the old bridge like slaughtered sheep,” Mohammed said. “I saw it myself.”
One resident displayed what appeared to be dog-type tags taken from one body. Residents also said there were weapons in the targeted cars.
The explosive device that killed the American soldiers blew up when their vehicle ran over it in the Fallujah area, US Army Colonel Jill Morgenthaler said in Baghdad.
