Baghdad armed volunteers seized

Gunmen have kidnapped up to 10 members of a local
volunteer security force in north-east Baghdad, Iraqi
police say.

The volunteers were at a checkpoint in Shaab district
when gunmen drew up in several cars and took them

It is the latest in a number of attacks on the armed

The military leader of another Awakening Council in
Baghdad was killed in a bomb attack on Monday.
