Tanker bomb kills nine at government compound in Tikrit
2013-04-01
At least nine people were killed and 17 others injured Monday when terrorists insurgents detonated an oil tanker packed with explosives inside a governmental compound in Tikrit.

The explosion happened in central Tikrit 15 minutes after terrorists insurgents drove the tanker inside a compound housing governmental administrative offices. It killed nine people including seven policemen. Police at the scene said the guards at the compound may not have suspected the tanker because fuel trucks arrive every morning to deliver fuel to the government offices.

Captain Mohammed Salih said, "The tank was stopped just behind the police administration building and partially damaged it. I was injured in my face and stomach because of glass."
