Baghdad, April 10 (IANS) At least 25 people were
killed and 31 wounded in separate
attacks across Iraq Thursday, authorities said. In Iraq's eastern province of Diyala, eight Sunni civilians were
killed and eight of their homes and a mosque set on fire when gunmen, believed to be Shia militiamen, attacked the village of Boudjah near the provincial capital city of Baquba, some 65 km **rtheast of Baghdad, Xinhua quoted a police source as saying. Hemiary called on Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, also Commander-in-Chief of the Iraqi armed forces, "to launch an offensive against the leaders of the death squads and the militias in Diyala, because the tensions are very high and the militias would spark serious sectarian strife". Also in Diyala, a civilian was
killed and his wife wounded when gunmen opened fire on their car in Udheim area, while a policeman was
killed by gunmen near his house in Himreen area, **rtheast of Baquba.
