| (VOI) – A policeman was killed and seven more were wounded in a bomb explosion targeting their vehicle patrol in western Mosul, said a police source. “A policeman was killed and seven were wounded in a bomb explosion targeting their vehicle patrol over al-Jisr al-Khames tunnel in western Mosul,” the source, who asked for anonymity, told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq – (VOI). “The body was sent to the forensic medicine department, while the wounded were rushed to the al-Jomhouri hospital in Mosul for treatment,” he also said. Iraqi security forces have been launching a large-scale military campaign since May 10. The operation, codenamed Za'eer al-Assad (Lion's Roar), aims at tracking down gunmen in Ninewa province. Five days later, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki announced the operation's second stage under the name Umm al-Rabiain (Mother of Two Springs). |
