Four of them were carrying Kanas assassination weapons and the remaining two had Kalashnikov rifles. All of them wrapped their faces with head scarves and they were speaking Kurdish. They waylaid our car, and we suppose that they were looters.''

One bullet pierced the windshield, passed through it and hit the seat. Luckily, we were not wounded. After this, the Iraqi driver stopped the car,'' he said.
