At least 53 people have been killed and another 95 wounded in an attack in Iraq’s northern city of Tikrit. Gunmen dressed in police uniforms and suicide vests attacked a provincial office and went room to room executing local politicians and government workers. U.S. forces were deployed to the scene and engaged in combat with the attackers. The dead included Sabah al-Bazee, a 30-year-old freelance photojournalist who worked with the Reuters news agency.
