The residents of a small Iraqi village have killed five insurgents who had attacked them for voting in last weekend's national elections.
Several other insurgents were also wounded.
The insurgents raided the village of al-Mudhiryah south of Baghdad after warning its inhabitants not to vote in the election.
The villagers fought back, killing five of the insurgents and wounding eight others.
The insurgents' cars were then set alight.
Al-Mudhiryah's tribal sheikh says his people are sick of being threatened by Islamic extremists.

"The villagers fought back, killing five of the insurgents and wounding eight others.

It's hard to intimidate a village full of innocent people when half of them have an AK-47 in the corner of the living room.

This is wonderful news.
First the Iraqi people defy the insurgents by voting and now they are fighting back.
Thanks for the ping, Jim.

When they form their new Constitution, I hope they pay heed to the U.S. "2nd Amendment," and make it their FIRST AMENDMENT. (With a little more clarity though)
