BAGHDAD, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Gunmen dressed in police commando uniforms abducted eight people from a central Baghdad computer store on Saturday in the latest kidnapping to hit the Iraqi capital, police sources said.

Gunmen dragged out employees from the store, situated on a main road near the capital's mainly Shi'ite area of Karrada, and bundled them into waiting cars before speeding off.

An Indian policeman detains a Kashmiri Shia Muslim mourner during the Ashura procession in Srinagar January 28, 2007. Indian police used tear gas and batons on Sunday to disperse Shia Muslims as they marched to mark the death of the Prophet's grandson in Kashmir's main city, wounding more than 20 people, police said. Muslims all over the world mourn the slaying of Imam Hussein, a grandson of Prophet Mohammed during the first ten days of the first Islamic month of Moharram and Ashura is the tenth and concluding day of mourning. Imam Hussein was killed by his political rivals along with 72 companions in Iraq some 1300 years ago.
