6 KILLED IN IRAQ VIOLENCE
Baku, August 18 (AZERTAC). Gunmen shot three people dead and a roadside bomb killed two more in Iraq Wednesday in a streak of violence that has hit the nation as U.S. troops prepare to end their combat operations.
On Wednesday, officials say gunmen killed three people outside their homes in Diyala province.
Also, a bomb blast near a courthouse in the northern city of Tikrit killed two people and wounded at least two others. Officials say at least one of the victims killed was a security officer.
The attacks come one day after a suicide bomber killed nearly 60 people and left 125 injured at an army recruitment station in Baghdad.
