| (VOI) - Police forces on Thursday arrested two suspects and defused a roadside bomb in Wassit, a security source said. "An ordinance explosive team defused a 20-kg sophisticated roadside bomb planted in al-Gardhiya district, 4 km south of Kut, which houses the biggest fuel reservoirs in the south," a Wassit security source, who requested anonymity, told Aswat al-Iraq - Voices of Iraq - (VOI). The source noted "police forces discovered the bomb based on a tip-off reported by a resident," adding "it was defused half an hour before a high-level government official passed the area." Elsewhere in Wassit, the same source said police forces captured two suspects in al-Numaniya district, north Wassit, during a raid-and search operation. |
