“Masked gunmen killed 18 people, most of them Iranians, working on a gas pipeline outside the northeastern Iraqi town of Muqdadiya on Friday, witnesses and officials said. One worker wounded in the assault told Reuters the attackers sped up in three cars as he and his colleagues were digging a trench to extend the line. ‘Three of them got out of a car and started firing on the workers inside and outside the trench,’ said Ibrahem Aziz by phone from hospital.”
