Terrorists have attacked a Real Madrid fan club in Iraq for the second time in one month, this time targeting and killing 12 Blancos fans on the night their club won their 11th European Cup by beating Atletico Madrid on penalties in the UEFA Champions League final.
Per AS' Calum Roche, the attack took place in the town of Bakouba, some 50 kilometers from the capital city of Baghdad. Four men reportedly opened fire shortly before the conclusion of the second period of extra time, before escaping.
AS spoke to club president Ziad Albidani:
It was a similar type of attack to the one that took place earlier in the month.
