| BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: Five people, including a policeman, have been killed and a civilian injured in different attacks by unknown gunmen in Baghdad on Sunday, a security source said. “An explosive charge, planted on the roadside in northern Baghdad’s Tunis district, blew up early on Sunday, wounding a civilian, who was driven to a nearby hospital,” the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. The security source said that an Iraqi Army force had discovered a rocket-launch pad in southern Baghdad’s Saydiya district, which included two rockets ready for launch presumably against west Baghdad’s Green Zone, the same location that houses the U.S. and British embassies. “Three rockets were launched from southern Baghdad’s Hay al-Amil district and fell on Baghdad Airport, but losses were not known,” the source added. |
