Gunmen shot and killed 10 Shiites today after pulling them off a bus in Baqouba, north-east of Baghdad.

The 10 men, nine workers at the city’s industrial area and the driver, were aged from 20 to 45 and were heading back to their homes, a police officer said.

Baqouba is 35 miles north-east of Baghdad and is near the site of an airstrike last week that killed al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

The gunmen were in two black cars and the workers included three brothers and six other relatives.
