Reported security incidents

Baghdad:
#1: A jeweler was killed and a civilian was wounded on Thursday by gunmen in western Baghdad, a police source said. “Unknown gunmen opened fire using guns with silencers on a jeweler in al-Sidiya region, western Baghdad, killing him instantly and wounding another civilian,” the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.


Basra:
#1: A total of 13 members of al-Qaeda armed group managed on Friday to escape from a detention center in Basra despite the tough security measures, according to a lawmaker from the National Alliance.



Afghanistan: "The Forgotten War"
#1: Gunmen stormed the house of a female police officer, killing her and four relatives, in an unusual attack in northwest Pakistan, police said Friday. The attack happened Thursday night in Hangu, a district just outside the tribal belt bordering Afghanistan.

#2: Also Friday, Afghan officials denied Pakistani claims that Afghan troops carried out a cross-border mortar attack that killed eight people in a Pakistani tribal region. NATO said its initial reports indicated foreign troops played no role, either. The mortar shells hit Tity Mada Khel village in North Waziristan, according to Pakistani intelligence officials. The dead included five men and three women, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. Eleven people were wounded.
