Russian diplomat 'killed in Iraq'

One Russian diplomat has been killed and four kidnapped in Iraq's capital,
Baghdad, Iraqi interior ministry officials say.

The gunmen used three cars to block a road then opened fire on the Russian
diplomatic vehicle, the officials say.

The attack took place in Mansour district in the west of the city, close
to the Russian embassy.

An embassy official confirmed the death and abductions to Russia's Interfax
agency but made no further comment.

Iraqi police find 8 severed heads near Baqouba

KIM GAMEL

BAGHDAD (AP) - Iraqi police on Saturday found eight severed heads north
of Baghdad with a note indicating at least one of the men were killed
in retaliation for the slaying of four Shiite doctors, authorities said.

Five of the slain men were security guards at a hospital complex in the capital
who had been arrested by Iraqi police on Thursday, Lt. Col. Adil Al-Zihari
of the Diyala police said.
