30 Killed in Iraq Violence; 4-Day Baghdad Toll Hits 130

HeadlineJul 13, 2006

In Iraq, at least thirty people were killed and nearly forty wounded in violence in and around Baghdad Wednesday. Twenty Sunni Iraqis were found dead after they were kidnapped from a bus station north of the capital. Hours later, Sunni militants seized twenty-five people in an attack on a Shiite part of Baghdad. More than one hundred thirty people have now been killed in the Baghdad area since Sunday. US General George Casey says he’s considering moving more US troops into the capital to respond to the violence.
