| NINEWA / Aswat al-Iraq: Six people, including two policemen, were wounded in two separate bombing attacks in central Mosul city on Saturday, according to a local security source in Ninewa. “An improvised explosive device (IED) went off near a police patrol in the area of Hadirat al-Sada, central Mosul, leaving two policemen wounded,' the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. “The injured policemen received treatment and already left hospital,' he added. In another incident four civilians were wounded when an unidentified gunman hurled a hand-grenade at a police patrol near a souk (outdoor market) on al-Cornich street, central Mosul,' the source added. The gunman managed to escape. Mosul, the capital city of the violence-ridden province of Ninewa, 405 km north of Baghdad, is witnessing armed operations nearly on a daily basis against Iraqi security forces, civilians and government facilities. The culprits of these operations are believed to belong to Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) and other linked armed groups. |
