"At least 31 Sunni gunmen were killed in Mosul on Thursday, said Mehdi Sabah Gharrawi, a national police commander. Ten police officers also were killed, military sources said. The sides had been fighting for control of four neighborhoods in east Mosul for three days, and gunmen held a police station before being repelled.
The death toll around the country reached as high as 179 by some accounts, with authorities saying 50 people died in Hawija and other parts of Kirkuk province Tuesday.
Fighting also occurred elsewhere as gunmen were reported to control the town of Suleiman Beg in the northern province of Salahuddin, where helicopters fired on Sunni gunmen Wednesday."
