2006-09-27
(KUNA) - A suicide bomber killed three people on Tuesday, while Iraqi security forces killed two militants and arrested 82 suspects in several Iraqi cities.

A suicide bomber riding a motorcycle blew up himself targeting policemen in Andalus square in central Baghdad, a source from the Iraqi Police said. The attack killed three people and injured nine others, the source added.

Meanwhile, a government press release said Tuesday that Iraqi forces killed two militants, arrested 82 terrorist suspects, and defused seven bombs in the past 24 hours. According to the release, the arrests took place in Mosul, Baghdad, Salah Al-Din, Diala, Kirkuk, and central and south Qate Al-Furat.

#3  Scott R, defused 24 bombs in the last 7 hours ?
More bombs would be a worsening situation, no ?

#2  Anyone else notice that the square where the bombing took place carries the Muslim name for Moorish-invaded and conquered Spain?
