Speaking by telephone, he said the trouble began early this morning. Armed men in black uniforms entered the area. There was the repeated sound of gunfire and then there were bodies left in the street.</s>HIDER SALIM: (Through Translator) They checked people's ID cards, and so far, it's been mainly Sunnis who have been killed. I don't know about any Shiites being shot, but right now, anyone walking down the street is a target.</s>JAMIE TARABAY: Jihad resident Hider Salim said the Iraqi security forces in the area did nothing.</s>HIDER SALIM: They didn't get involved.</s>JAMIE TARABAY: Allah Mahki(ph), a Sunni legislator, said today's events in Jihad proved the Interior Ministry was compromised by the infiltration of Shiite militias, something Sunni leaders have long claimed.</s>ALLAH MAHKI: Apparently, official cars were used in the attack, and official people were helping some of the people armed. Only just (unintelligible) that has definite proved that those people are engaged in the process. They are not independent.</s>JAMIE TARABAY: Jamie Tarabay, NPR News. Baghdad.
