Five teachers killed by suspected Iraqi insurgents

Suspected insurgents disguised as policemen shot and killed five teachers in a classroom of an elementary school south of Baghdad today, police said.

The shooting occurred just as teachers and students were leaving the building at the end of the school day in Muelha, a village near the town of Iskandariyah, and no one else was in the classroom at the time of the shooting, said police Capt. Muthana Khaled.
