In Iraq, local officials are reporting at least 45 deaths today after off-duty Shiite police went on a rampage to avenge a massive bombing in the northern town of Tal Afar. The officers are said to have roamed Sunni neighborhoods, rounded up men, and shot them execution-style. The attacks follow a double truck bombing that killed 60 people in Tal Afar Tuesday. Another 150 were wounded. Several attacks were also reported around Baghdad. This is an unidentified Baghdad resident.

Unidentified Baghdad resident: “We appeal to every Muslim man and to those who believe in God to find a solution for Iraq! God is greatest! We are going crazy! Our families, women and children, are being killed!”
