Shootings caught on camera
A series of pictures taken by an AP photographer show three pistol-wielding gunmen, who had earlier stopped a car carrying the election officials and dragged them into the middle of Haifa Street amid the morning traffic, brandishing their weapons over the victims.
The busy, traffic-clogged street has been the scene of almost daily gunfights between the insurgents and US troops and the forces of the US-installed interim government.
