Five killed in suicide attack on Iraqi police
A suicide bomber rammed his explosives-rigged minibus against a police station south of the Iraqi capital and killed five people, including four policemen on Friday, security officials and medics said. The attack took place at around 2:00 pm (1100 GMT) at Al-Rasheed police station in the town of Yusifiyah, 25 kilometres (15 miles) southwest of Baghdad, security officials said. Eight people were also wounded in the attack, including seven policemen. A medic at Baghdad's Al-Yarmukh hospital confirmed the attack and said the wounded policemen had been admitted for treatment at the facility. Insurgents regularly attack Iraqi security forces in a bid to sabotage the battered country's attempt to build its own armed forces.Posted by: Fred 2007-12-22 |
