BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A gunman has shot dead a South African security guard in a Baghdad supermarket after accusing him of being Jewish in the latest example of the widespread dangers facing foreigners in Iraq.

Kidnappers freed two Swiss nationals and a Palestinian, but several other foreign hostages remained missing. About 50 foreigners have been abducted this month. Most have been freed. In other incidents at least 26 foreign civilians and private security guards have been killed in March and April.

The South African, earlier identified by police as a Spaniard, was shot in the head on Thursday by a lone assailant who also wounded his Iraqi translator in a shop in Baghdad's Sunni Muslim Adhamiya district, witnesses said.

Yes, both Christians and Jews and other "infidels" are experiencing difficulties and have certain fears in parts of Iraq.

Very sad.
An evil, hateful act.
