"An improvised explosive device planted on the road leading to al-Hajjam area in southern Souk al-Shoyoukh area detonated while a motorcade carrying Abdel Ali Rissan, a provincial council member, was passing the location," Major Nasser al-Majidi told Aswat al-Iraq-Voices of Iraq- (VOI). "The explosion wounded four of his security personnel and caused severe damage to one of the vehicles of the motorcade," al-Majidi noted, adding that police forces sealed off the area immediately after the blast and set up a committee to investigate the attack. |
