At least three Iraqis were killed and seven were wounded in light violence that came a day after a horrific spate of attacks on Baghdad mosques. One of the bombings today occurred at a mosque just south of the capital. Also, five more Iranian refugees were injured during renewed unrest at Camp Ashraf.
Renewed clashes at Camp Ashraf have left five wounded. Following this week’s deadly clashing, 22 residents have requested to return to Iran. Iran has offered amnesty to those who renounce ties to the People’s Mujahideen of Iran, but some of the rebels will be forced to stand trial regardless. Many fear they will be tortured or executed.
