BAQOUBA, Iraq - Gunmen killed a police captain and a university student who were headed by car to Baghdad from Baqouba on Sunday, a hospital official said.
Capt. Haidar Hadi, who was based in the capital, was giving the student a lift when the gunmen opened fire. The attack occurred in the Hadida area of Baqouba, north of Baghdad. A police sergeant in the car was injured, said Nassir Jawad of Baqouba General Hospital.
Insurgents routinely target police and other Iraqis who are working with the U.S.-led coalition governing Iraq.
In southern Iraq, a mortar shell landed on a house in al-Iskan district of Basra on Sunday, killing one woman and injuring five men, said Khalid Abdelallah, an official at Mawanei Hospital. It was unclear who fired the mortar round.
