Aid workers killed
Humanitarian, Security
(Al Jazeera) - Four humanitarian workers from the Iraqi Red Crescent have been killed and three others wounded after their minibus was ambushed in the district of Zafaraniya in Baghdad. Saturday's deaths are the latest in a series of attacks on the Iraqi Red Crescent, one of the few aid agencies still working in the country. In December, dozens of Red Crescent employees were abducted from the group's office in the Iraqi capital. Many of the hostages were later released, but some are still missing.
