| The Iraqi arena on Wednesday witnessed attacks that covered various parts of Iraq, the most remarkable of which was that gunmen attacked a hospital in Karkouk city that ended in their liberation of one detainee linked to al-Qaida organization before they were able to flee. Sources in the Iraqi police said that more than 20 gunmen attacked the public hospital in Karkouk north of Iraq and opened fire at the guards and this resulted in killing three of them and injuring other 6. The source added that the attackers liberated their colleague affiliates to a cell from al-Qaida organization, planning for the assassination of a judge in the court before which the former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was brought to. The detainee was being treated in the hospital from wounds he had during his attempt to implant a bomb on the roadside on Tuesday. |
