ZAUBA, Iraq, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Thirteen Iraqi civilians were slain by gunmen wearing Iraqi Army uniforms, police sources said Monday.
An unnamed source told the Kuwait News Agency KUNA that the villagers of Zauba were rounded up and executed by the gunmen, raising tensions in the area as Iraqi security forces clamped down following the attack.
An investigation of the incident is reportedly under way.
KUNA said the shootings are part of a general deterioration of security in Iraq as the Baghdad government seeks to restore order following the pullout of U.S. troops from the country's cities.
