At Least 70 Killed in Iraq Attacks
Insurgent attacks in Iraq Tuesday have killed nearly 70 people and injured many more. The worst attack was a car bomb explosion outside a police training center in Baghdad. At least 47 people, mostly new recruits, were killed and more than 100 wounded. A few hours later, a second explosion rocked the capital. At least one person was wounded in the blast that appeared to target a convoy of Westerners. To the north, in Baquba, at least 11 Iraqi policemen and their civilian driver were killed in a drive-by shooting. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's terror network claimed responsibility for the two police-related attacks. In the Sunni Muslim town of Ramadi, at least 10 people were killed in clashes between insurgents and U.S. troops. In Mosul, meanwhile, an American soldier was killed and five wounded when their patrol was attacked. Some information for this report provided by AFP. VOA Posted by: Mark Espinola 2004-09-14 |
