伊拉克反政府力量再度向巴格达逼近

Iraqi militants have attacked a town north of Baghdad, seizing local government buildings and killing at least 6 people, including two police officers.

Officials say the assault on Dhuluiya, about 80 kilometers north of the capital, began early Sunday. Government forces had retaken Dhuluiya last month after it had been overrun by the militants, but a new drive toward Baghdad appears to be under way.

On Saturday, gunmen stormed an apartment building in a Baghdad neighborhood, killing at least 29 people, mostly women.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack and the motive is also not known.

Earlier Saturday, Human Rights Watch accused Iraqi security forces and government-backed militias of illegally executing at least 255 prisoners in the last month.

The group says the executions were carried out in six towns and villages.

Human Rights Watch says most of the prisoners were Sunnis who had run away from the extremist groups fighting to topple the government.

另外，陷入僵局的伊拉克议会星期天宣布休会。休会前，议会未能就两个高级职务的人选达成一致意见。组建新政府之前，议会要先提出候选人。伊拉克议会计划星期二再次开会。

联合国伊拉克援助团负责人姆拉德诺夫曾敦促伊拉克议员出席周日会议。他说，如果不能组建新政府，伊拉克会更加混乱。

另外，枪手星期六袭击了巴格达的一所公寓楼，杀死至少29人，其中大多数是妇女。截止到目前，还没有人声称为这次袭击负责。

星期六早些时候，国际人权组织“人权观察”指责伊拉克安全部队和政府支持的民兵上个月非法处决了至少255名俘虏。人权观察说，这些俘虏分别在伊拉克6个村镇被处决。

人权观察说，绝大多数俘虏是逃离反政府极端组织的逊尼派穆斯林。
