An Iraqi army colonel was shot dead in Baghdad late on Saturday by gunmen armed with silenced pistols, an interior ministry official said. "Colonel Taher Ibrahim Ahmed, who worked at the ministry of defence, was shot dead as he was in his car on Palestine Street" in the east of the capital, the official said.
Although there was no immediate claim of responsibility, al Qaeda has said it was behind many similar attacks targeting senior military officers and officials.
