Violence In Iraq Doesn?t Stop

Violence does not stop in Iraq and it seems that American troops are unable to stop civilizes from being injured. Now security officials in Iraq are saying that unidentified and armed men kidnapped 50 people in central Baghdad. With so many terrorist activities taking place, it is hard to believe that recent killing of terrorist`s leader will make any difference.

Security officials in Iraq say at least unidentified gunmen inside central Baghdad kidnapped 50 people. The incident occurred on Salihiya street, which is filled with travel agencies specializing in trips to Jordan and Syria. According to the BBC, the gunmen pulled up in over thirteen cars wearing Iraqi special security uniforms.

Shortly after, an official with the interior ministry denied rumors the ambush was officially sanctioned. As of yet, no one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
