BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Gunmen fired on a bus carrying Baghdad airport employees to work on Thursday, killing four people and wounding 11 in a brazen assault on Iraqis helping to revive a vital link in Iraq (news - web sites)'s reconstruction.

The attackers strafed the bus with gunfire as it was passing through a Baghdad neighborhood shortly after 7 a.m. (0000 EDT), carrying about 25 people to work at Baghdad International Airport, on the western outskirts of the capital.


"The bus was riddled with bullet holes. There was broken glass everywhere," said an airport employee who asked not to be named. She said most of the passengers were office workers.


Staff at Yarmouk hospital in central Baghdad said they had received 11 wounded, some of them in critical condition.
