Gunmen attacked a minibus carrying Shiites northeast of Baghdad, killing six men and wounding one woman, an official said Saturday. The Shiites were returning home from visiting relatives when they were ambushed Friday night near Balad Ruz, about 45 miles northeast of Baghdad, according to the town’s mayor, Mohammed Maarouf. The motive for the attack was unclear. However, it occurred in a religiously mixed province which has recorded numerous acts of violence by Shiite and Sunni Arab extremists against members of the rival communities.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060401/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_violence_3;_ylt=Ajx7Jscm1mDUynzqC7PlI81X6GMA;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl
