Resistance Assassinates 20 Collaborators In Tikrit
Resistance fighters riding in two cars opened fire with machine guns and hurled hand grenades at two civilian busses carrying Iraqi collaborators on their way to work in a US-run arsenal outside Tikrit, reportedly killing 20 collaborators and wounding 18 others, according to the local correspondent of Mafkarat al-Islam. Reuters had reported 17 dead and 13 wounded collaborators on the authority of an American military officer earlier in the day. The correspondent wrote that the two teams of attackers were accompanied by another detachment of Resistance fighters whose job was to cover the attackers in case they should come under counter attack.
