BAQUBA, Iraq, Nov 5 (AFP) - Eleven members of the same family were killed
and three wounded Saturday when armed men ambushed their minibus northeast
of Baghdad, officials said.

According to officials in the village of Baladruz, 50 kilometers (31 miles)
northeast of Baghdad, the family had come to visit relatives on the Muslim
holiday of Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

On their way back to the nearby town of Naharuwan, near Baghdad, they were
intercepted by gunmen in two cars who forced their vehicle to stop and
sprayed the minibus with bullets.

Among those wounded was a five-year-old child.
