4 Killed, 22 Wounded, 11 Corpses Found

Good Morning,

Baghdad - A double roadside bomb explosion northeast of Baghdad killed three Iraqis and injured 22 others on Saturday, a security source said.

The first blast that took place inside a shop in al-Miqdadiya, 100 kilometers northeast of Baghdad, prompted dozens of Iraqis to gather close to the shop when a second bomb detonated, causing the casualties, the source said.

Another bomb exploded in al-Mahaweel, 80 kilometers south of Baghdad, wounding two Iraqi security personnel, according to a security source.

In a separate incident, security commander General Salam al- Maamouri survived an attempt on his life when a roadside bomb exploded in front of his convoy in Khatona, near al-Mahaweel.

Meanwhile, US troops raided a house in a Ramadi district, 110 kilometers west of Baghdad, killing an Iraqi man and four of his sons, a police source said.

The bullet-ridden bodies of 10 Iraqis were found in and around Baghdad, many blindfolded with their hands and legs bound in rope. Some appeared to have been tortured, and one had been decapitated, police said.

Police also found a body with signs of torture floating in the Tigris River in Kut, 100 miles southeast of Baghdad, said Hadi al-Ittabi, an employee of the Kut Forensic Center.

In Baghdad, gunmen in a speeding car sprayed a police patrol with machine-gun fire, killing one officer, police said. Gunmen killed a civilian riding in a car, and a roadside bomb wounded two policemen, police said.



Have a nice day.
