 이라크서 ‘피의 보복’ 90여명 테러로 숨져

 사담 후세인(Saddam Hussein·69) 전 이라크 대통령이 30일 교수형에 처해진 뒤 이라크 전역에서 90여명이 숨지는 무차별 테러가 잇따랐다.

사담과 같은 이슬람 종파인 수니파 무장세력들은 피의 보복을 맹세했다. 31일 유전이 집중된 이라크 북부 키르쿠크의 군 검문소를 이슬람 무장세력이 공격해 이라크군 3명이 숨졌다. 같은 날 바그다드에서도 사담이 처형된 카다미야 지역 등 3곳에서 폭탄테러와 로켓포 공격으로 4명이 숨졌다고 AFP 통신은 전했다. 앞서 30일에도 이라크 각지에서 발생한 폭탄 테러로 이라크인 80여명이 사망했다.

사담에 대한 교수형은 30일 오전 6시(한국시각 낮12시)쯤 바그다드 북부 카다미야 지역의 전 정보부 건물에서 집행됐으며, 그의 시신은 31일 고향인 이라크 북부 티크리트 부근에 매장됐다. 그의 사형은 이라크 형법이 사형을 금지한 만 70세를 4개월 앞두고 집행됐다.

사담 처형 수시간 뒤 바그다드 북서부 시아·수니파가 혼재하는 후리야 지역에서 3건의 연쇄 차량폭탄테러가 발생해 37명이 숨지고 76명이 다쳤다. 바그다드 남쪽 160㎞의 이슬람 시아파 거주지역 쿠파에서도 미니버스에서 폭탄이 터지면서 31명이 사망했다.

그리스에서는 31일 오전 승객 183명을 태우고 아테네를 떠나 뉴욕으로 향하던 ‘올림픽 에어라인’ 소속 여객기가 폭탄이 탑재됐다는 전화를 받고 아일랜드 새넌에 긴급 착륙했다. 항공사측은 '아랍 억양의 영어로 ‘사담을 위한’ 폭탄이 있다는 전화가 걸려왔다'고 AFP 통신에 밝혔다. 새넌 공항측은 '수색 결과 폭탄은 발견되지 않았다'고 밝혔다.
