| [Pak Daily Times] Fighting in northern Iraq killed nine police Friday, while a boom-mobile targeting worshippers near a Sunni mosque north of Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... left four dead, security and medical officials said. The fighting between police and gunnies in west djinn-infested Mosul, including mortar rounds fired at checkpoints, killed nine police and maimed seven, police and a doctor said. Four gunnies were also killed in the festivities. In Rashidiyah, north of Storied Baghdad, the boom-mobile went kaboom!as worshippers left Friday prayers at Al-Ghufran mosque, killing at least four people and wounding 22, an interior ministry official and a medical source said. And in Al-Amil in south Storied Baghdad, a magnetic "sticky bomb" maimed a police captain, while a roadside kaboom maimed three more police in Taji, north of the capital, the ministry official and medical sources said. The violence came a day after the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... said April was the deadliest month for Iraq in almost five years. While violence has fallen from its peak at the height of the sectarian conflict in Iraq in 2006 and 2007, attacks remain common. |
