A police officer described gruesome scenes in Zayouna, eastern Baghdad after a raid by men wearing plain clothes and camouflage
Gunmen appeared to be targeting prostitutes in Iraq last night after 33 people, 29 of them women, were slaughtered in two apartment buildings.
A police officer described gruesome scenes in Zayouna, eastern Baghdad after a raid by men wearing plain clothes and camouflage.
He said: “We saw women’s bodies and blood streaming down the stairs.
“We entered a flat and found bodies everywhere, some lying on the sofa, some on the ground.
“One woman who had tried to hide in a cupboard in the kitchen was shot to death there.”
An inscription left on the door of one of the attacked buildings in a housing complex read: “This is the fate of any prostitution.”
At least 18 people were wounded during the massacre.
Shia militias have been accused by locals of carrying out killings of women branded as prostitutes in that district of the capital.
Last night it was not possible to confirm who was responsible for the latest in a series of atrocities committed by rival Sunni and Shia fighters in Iraq.
