BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Militants killed two people at elementary schools in a mainly Shiite district of Baghdad on Wednesday, the government said. But police in the neighborhood denied any attack occurred.
The contradictory accounts could not immediately be reconciled.
The National Security Ministry initially said in a statement that militants broke into the Amna and Shaheed Hamdi schools and "slaughtered" a teacher in each one in front of students in the Shaab neighborhood of the capital.
But the ministry later said the dead were a school guard and a teacher. It said the guard was stabbed to death by militants in front of students, while the teacher was shot outside the school as he arrived in the morning for classes.
The ministry said it was still working to establish details in the attack.
Ali al-Obeidi, the director of the police in the Shaab district, said there was no attack against any school in the area.
Pupils at elementary schools in Iraq range in age from 6 to 12 years.

Move along folks. Nothing to see here. Just the "Religion of Peace" at work. Comming soon to a city near you.
The students learned a very important lesson about Pisslam

Fog of War..Truth Goes MIA
It won't let me copy snd paste but this blog from Baghdad could find no one in the area who verified the original story...
Where the hell are all the so called Peace Activists denouncing the attack on a school while in session? I guess they are tied up litigating Gitmo claims for terrorists.

Read this..It casts a lot of doubt.
I never expect consistency from activists..They only actively denounce us.
Wow.
Whom do I believe?
The AP?
or
Islamic police?
Iraq neighbors deny teacher-beheadings claim
*****************************AN EXCERPT ********************************
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Local police and neighbors of two Baghdad schools where gunmen had reportedly beheaded teachers in front of their students Wednesday said the slayings never happened, despite an official statement to the contrary.
I just happened on that!
According to the crawler on FOX this AM these killers beheaded the two teachers in front of the children.
I heard it on CBS radio news at 8 AM EDT; they'd better retract as prominently tomorrow.
Happenings are good!
LOL!
For the millionth time, Bush said Islam was a religion of peace, so I believe it!
That's easy. I'll take the Iraqi police over the AP any day.
