| (VOI) - One policeman was killed and three wounded by violence acts in Mosul, a Ninewa police source said. "One policeman was killed and one civilian wounded in clashes between a police patrol and unknown gunmen in al-Sinai (Industrial) area, east Mosul," a Ninewa police source, who requested anonymity, told Aswat al-Iraq - Voices of Iraq - (VOI). Meanwhile, the same source noted "a roadside bomb went off targeting a police patrol in Sheikh Fathi district, west Mosul." The source did not elaborate on the details about the two accidents. U.S. and Iraqi authorities view Mosul, the provincial capital of Ninawa, as one of the last remaining al-Qaeda strongholds in Iraq. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki ordered a military crackdown in the northern city in May. |
