Baghdad, Dec 25 (AFP) Six people, including three teachers and the brothers of a town mayor, were killed today in three separate attacks in Iraq, police said.

The teachers, who were working with Iraq's census authorities, were found shot dead in the west of the restive city of Mosul, 350 kilometres north of Baghdad, according to a police officer who did not want to be named.

Two brothers of Mustafa al-Azawi, the Sunni Arab mayor of the town of Mansuriyah in Diyala province, meanwhile, were kidnapped today morning, police said. Their bodies were found shortly afterwards in the central Iraqi town.

And in the town of Rabiyaa, near the Syrian border in north Iraq, a Kurdish peshmerga fighter was killed and 10 others wounded by a car bomb targeting their patrol at around midday, officials said.
