Gunmen abduct 10 bakery workers in Baghdad-police

BAGHDAD, June 18 (Reuters) Gunmen in five cars stormed a Baghdad bakery today and abducted 10 of its workers, police sources said.

No other information was immediately available about the incident in the northwestern Kadhimiya district, a predominantly Shi'ite Muslim area of the Iraqi capital.

Insurgents often target labourers as part of a campaign to topple the US-backed, Shi'ite-led government. Bakeries have also been bombed.
