20 dead in Iraq attacks
Deadly attacks in northern Iraq on Monday left nine people dead — including seven from one family — while attacks near Baghdad left 11 dead, authorities said.

Mosul police said two civilians were killed when their vehicle struck a roadside bomb in southern Mosul, and at least four Iraqi soldiers were wounded when a suicide car bomber attacked their patrol west of the city.

Meanwhile, seven members of the Yazidi sect, all from one family, were found shot dead in their home in the town of Sinjar, about 75 miles (120 km) west of Mosul, officials said. Among the dead were three women.

The Yazidi sect is a mainly Kurdish minority, an ancient group that worships seven angels, in the form of peacocks, who are subordinate to the supreme god who created the universe.
