BAGHDAD, Feb. 19 (UPI) -- The leader of an anti-insurgent group, his family and a neighbor were killed Tuesday by al-Qaida in Iraq fighters in Diyala province, police said.
The shooting occurred in a village southwest of Baquba, the provincial capital, CNN reported. Fighters reportedly stormed the home of Faraj al-Zaidi, the head of an Awakening Council in the village, killing the leader, his wife, son and a woman who was visiting.
Meanwhile, at least five Iraqi citizens were killed and 14 others -- including two U.S. soldiers -- were injured in a rocket assault Monday by insurgents on the Victory Base Complex and West Rashid in southwestern Baghdad, the Kuwaiti news agency KUNA reported.
Six suspects were taken into custody, a coalition forces spokesman said.
