Iraq militants threaten to attack universities; Turks find homes in shambles

BAGHDAD, Iraq—A militant group threatened Wednesday to attack Iraqi universities if Iraqi authorities continued to permit women to study alongside men, according to a videotape broadcast on the Arab language Al-Arabiya television station.

The group calling itself the Islamic Jihad brigade in Iraq demanded that the Iraqi minister of higher education separate men and women at all schools and universities. The video showed one man, his face hidden by a kefiyah, reading a statement.
