   ....[1]in Iraq.

     Masked gunmen stopped two minivans carrying students north of
     Baghdad Sunday, ordered the passengers off, separated Shiites from
     Sunni Arabs, and killed the 21 Shiites "in the name of Islam," a
     witness said.
     [......]
     --Gunmen in a car opened fire on a minibus carrying
     telecommunications workers to an area near the Shiite slum of Sadr
     City, killing four and wounding two.
     --Police found 16 bullet-riddled bodies in Baghdad and four in the
     city of Tikrit, north of the capital.
     --Gunmen in Tikrit killed three police officers and wounded two
     others at a checkpoint.
     --Gunmen broke into the home of an Iraqi army soldier, killing him,
     his two brothers and father and wounding his mother.
     --Two gunmen on a motorcycle killed Muntaha Ali and her husband
     Helmi Yaseen in Basra, believed to be employees of a U.S.
     government agency.

   Of course, all of this violence pales in comparison to an isolated
   incident in which American Marines may have been involved -- in a town
   where terrorists routinely beheaded local residents before blowing and
   shooting Marines.
