Bombings and a shooting kill 8 in Iraq

Total anarchy, this is the state of affairs in Iraq, and most Muslim countries for that matter. Unless of course the country in question is Saudi Arabia, where basically the religious police are everywhere and control the masses with an iron fist. Either way, whether one extreme or the other, where Islam is prevalent, the people suffer. TGO

BAGHDAD (AP) — Authorities say bombings and a drive-by shooting have killed eight people across Iraq.

Police officials said gunmen in a car killed two off-duty policemen near the northern city of Mosul on Saturday.

In the central Iraqi city of Tikrit, police say a roadside bomb explosion killed a father and his son.

In western Baghdad, a bomb went off near a line of car spare-part stores, killing two people and wounding seven others, officials say. In the southeast of the capital, a blast missed a police patrol but killed two civilian passers-by.

Medical officials confirmed the casualty figures for all attacks. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to talk to the media.

Iraqi has witnessed an uptick in violence during the past few months.
