Iraqi police and health officials say robbers have killed nine people and wounded 14 others in a jewelry heist in eastern Baghdad. A police officer says two carloads of robbers stormed four jewelry stores Monday in a small market in the neighborhood of Ur before noon, according to a report of the Associated Press. He said the gunmen stole gold and cash after a gunfight with nearby security forces. He said two policemen and two soldiers were among the dead and the rest were passers-by. A doctor in a nearby hospital confirmed the casualty figures.
