At least five people were killed when Shia militiamen ambushed an Iraqi army patrol Tuesday in the central city of Diwaniyah on Tuesday, officials said. Two women were among the dead and another 14 people were wounded, including four teenage girls, according to a security official.
The fighting began when gunmen opened fire on the patrol in the northern part of the predominantly Shia city, setting a Humvee alight. Explosions and gunfire spread across neighbouring areas.
