Gunmen rampage through Iraqi city killing dozens
Sunni insurgents have swept through parts of the city of Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, attacking a police checkpoint and shooting residents after dragging them from their homes and cars. Sunni insurgents, including al-Qaeda Islamists, dominate Baquba, capital of Diyala province.

Police in the city, frequent targets of ambushes, shootings and bombings, are ill-equipped to stand up to the Sunni insurgents fighting US forces and the Shi'ite-led government. "There is not a day that passes without dozens of people being killed either from bombs, shootings or assassinations," one senior policeman told Reuters.

Police said the latest violence began when gunmen attacked a police checkpoint, killing two policemen and wounding two. They then spread through the town, pulling people from their homes or cars and shooting them in the head after blindfolding them.

Separately, gunmen loyal to Shi'ite cleric and militia commander Moqtada al-Sadr burned shops in a market in reprisal for an attack on their offices in the town, police said.

3. Not exactly
But they have helped instigate violence and still use propaganda as a tool. There is nothing wrong with a little scepticism when reading a story.
