Maj. Gen. Ghalib al-Jazaery, a police official in Nasiriyah, said tribesmen, not security forces, had raided the building. He said the tribesmen were retaliating against Shiite militia attacks.
Special correspondents Zaid Sabah and Naseer Nouri in Baghdad and Saad Sarhan in Najaf contributed to this report.
Missing Contractor
The family of Jonathon Cote, a contractor kidnapped in Iraq in November 2006, said Sunday that a body that could be his has been recovered in southern Iraq.
U.S. officials informed the family of the discovery near Basra, they said on the Web site Free Cote. The body will be flown to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where it will be identified and an autopsy performed, according to the Web site. Cote's family declined to comment until the body is identified.
