9 Killed in Assassinations in Iraq

Analysts and diplomats have urged the Shia-led authorities to pursue reforms and address the grievances of the disaffected Sunni community, but with elections due on April 30, political leaders have been loathe to compromise. The two incidents both took place in Salaheddin province, north of Baghdad, leaving nine dead in all, security and medical officials said.
In Tuz Khurmatu, an ethnically-mixed town that has been hit by regular attacks, militants surrounded a police encampment protecting a stadium construction site and gathered the six policemen as a group and shot them all dead, two security officials and a doctor at the local hospital said.
One of the six, however, only died at hospital, and according to a local Tuz official, said that the insurgents had attempted to find out if the policemen were Sunni or Shia before killing them. LINK
