BAGHDAD, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- An assassination and several bombings killed at least six people in Iraq, security officials reported Sunday.
An employee of the country's Interior Ministry was shot to death while driving on a highway in Baghdad Saturday, CNN reported.
Several bombing attacks west of the capital in and around the city of Fallujah were also reported.
Four people died in a roadside bombing that targeted a leader of a local Awakening Council. The groups are predominantly Sunni Muslims who dropped support of the al-Qaida terror movement in 2006. A woman and a child were among the fatalities in the attack on the unidentified local leader, police said.
In downtown Fallujah, a bomb attached to a civilian car exploded Saturday night, killing one civilian and critically injured a second, the report said.
