| 2009-08-13 |
| [ADN Kronos] Three people were killed and three others, all from the same family, were wounded when gunmen threw a hand grenade at their house near the Iraqi city of Mosul late Tuesday. Head of the local council in the Baaj district, Jassem Mohamed Husseinwest of Mosul, told the state news agency, Voices of Iraq, that a woman and her two sons were killed in the attack. He said that a soldier injured in the attack was in a serious condition. "The three bodies were sent to the forensic medicine department in Mosul, while the wounded were rushed to Al-Joumhouri hospital for treatment," he said. More than 160 people were killed in Iraq in the first 10 days of August - more than half of all those killed in July. Attacks which struck Baghdad and areas outside Mosul in the north on Friday and on Monday, were the most serious since the withdrawal of US troops from Iraqi cities at the end of June. |
