| Iraq: Iranian artillery kills child |
| 2009-03-13 |
| (AKI) - Suspected Iranian artillery killed a two-year-old child and injured his parents in the northern Iraqi village of Zarawa close to the Iranian border, Iraqi radio reported on Wednesday. Iranian forces fired artillery rounds for two hours into the village late on Tuesday, a police official told the Voices of Iraq news agency. The child's mother is in a stable condition, but the father's health is critical, the police official added. Northern Kurdish villages in Iraq are regularly exposed to Turkish air bombings and Iranian artillery targeting the separatist Kurdistan Worker's Party and the Party For a Free Life in Kurdistan, which oppose the Turkish and Iranian governments. |
