11 killed in Raid on New Iraq TV Station


Gunmen stormed into a new Sunni television station in Baghdad and fatally shot 11 people including technicians, two guards and the head of the station's board of directors, police said.

The station moved into the building in July and has not yet gone on the air. The raid on the southeastern Baghdad offices of Iraq's Shaabiya satellite station came at around 7 a.m., police Maj. Mahir Hamad said.

"A group of armed men in seven cars stormed into the building and killed a group of our colleagues, including the head of the board of directors Abdel-Raheem Nasrallah.
It sounds like something you would watch on an American action movie.
The TV station didn’t even have a chance to start out.
Is this a full civil war yet? How can it be stopped from spreading?
