NINEWA / Aswat al-Iraq: An Iraqi Army force has detained 4 persons, suspected to have killed a soldier and wounded 3 others in west Mosul on Thursday, a Ninewa security source reported.

“An Iraqi Army force has arrested 4 persons in west Mosul, suspected with having been behind an attack, launched by a group of armed men against Iraqi Army men in Mosul’s al-Harmat area,” the security source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

An Iraqi soldier was killed and 3 others injured early on Thursday by a group of armed men, who opened fire on a civilian car that carried them in al-Harmat area, west of Mosul.

#3   We see stories of arrests from time to time, but I can't even remember the last one about a trial, conviction, or sentence

But you frequently read about "bodies found".

#2  Don't know; the Iraqi news sources don't cover such things.

#1  We see stories of arrests from time to time, but I can't even remember the last one about a trial, conviction, or sentence (at least in Iraq there aren't a lot about escapes.) Do they get released? Bailed out & walk away? Rot in jail for years awaiting trial? Suffer liver failure?
