Police officials killed in Baghdad

BAGHDAD, MARCH 11. Gunmen assassinated two district police chiefs and killed two other persons in the Iraqi capital on Thursday, one day after authorities said they had found dozens of corpses — some bullet-riddled, others beheaded — at two different sites.

Gunmen in two cars opened fire on a pickup truck in central Baghdad carrying Col. Ahmed Abeis, head of the Salihiyah police station in western Baghdad, killing him, his driver and a guard, police Col. Khazim Abbas said. Another officer had earlier put the toll at five dead.

Al-Qaeda in Iraq purportedly posted an Internet statement, claiming responsibility for an attack in the same area on ``an intelligence officer who used to investigate the Mujahedeen and hurt them.''
