BAGHDAD, April 5 (UPI) -- Six gay Iraqis were shot to death by tribal members in a pair of incidents in the past 10 days, a government source says.
An unnamed Iraq Interior Ministry official said the latest incident happened Thursday in the Sadr City area of Baghdad, in which two gay men were slain after they were disowned by relatives, CNN reported.
The official said the men were killed after a tribal meeting was held and the members decided to hunt down the victims.
Another incident reportedly happened March 26, when four men were fatally shot in Baghdad under similar circumstances.
