Gunmen Kill U.S.-Allied Sunni Group Leader

There was an ambush south of Baghdad. Gunmen killed a senior leader of a U.S.-allied Sunni group. They also killed six of his guards at the same time. The U.S. military confirmed casualties in an attack on the man's house but denied that he was killed. According to one of his followers and several residents in the town, Sheik Ibrahim al-Karbouli's convoy came under attack on Monday. They were all afraid for their own lives so would not give their names for publication. I can't blame them as I am sure they would be as good as dead if they did.
