Baghdad: Sunni extremists have killed three prostitutes and wounded two others in a brothel attack in the northern city of mosul, Iraqi police said on Tuesday.
The insurgents knocked on the apartment's door Monday and shouted at the women that they had been warned before not to carry out prostitution, said a police official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The militants then opened fire on the apartment, he said, citing testimony from one of the wounded women.
Authorities had warned the women to leave the area after complaints from neighbors, the official added.
