AFP JULY 25, 2013 Gunmen kill 14 truck drivers in Iraq Gunmen killed 14 truck drivers and stole their vehicles on a highway north of Baghdad on Thursday, while dozens of other militants attacked a nearby town, a local administrative official said. The gunmen killed the drivers about 10 kilometers south of the town of Sulaiman Bek, Mohammed al-Bayati said. Militants have been attacking the town of Sulaiman Bek itself with mortar rounds and gunfire since Wednesday night, Bayati said. The ongoing fighting also left one civilian wounded, he said. Sulaiman Bek was briefly seized by militants in late April. The assailants later withdrew under a deal worked out by tribal leaders and government officials, allowing security forces to move back in. https://now.mmedia.me/lb/en/mena/gunmen-kill-14-truck-drivers-in-iraq
