Gunmen in Najaf also killed Mohammed al-Qarawi, director of tribal affairs in anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr"s office. The local police commander Maj.

And in the north, the bodies of four Sunni Arabs gunned down on their way home Friday from a funeral were found, about 75 miles south of Kirkuk, while two bodies of Kurds with signs of torture were found in a village 10 miles north of the city, Brig.
