2010-03-31
ANBAR / Aswat al-Iraq: An improvised explosive device went off on Tuesday targeting a freight train in western Anbar, injuring the driver and two workers, according to a police source.

“The bomb, planted on the rail between Akashat city and the Phosphate factory in western Anbar, exploded while a freight train was passing, injuring three civilians, including the driver and two of the train's workers, one of them who remains in critical condition,' the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

“Security forces sealed off the whole region and started to search the region, fearing a possible second bomb in the same place,' he added.

Ramadi, the capital of Anbar, lies 110 km west of Baghdad.
