BAGHDAD, July 26 (VOI) – Six people, including two Sahwa (Awakening) tribal fighters and one policeman, were wounded when an improvised explosive device went off in eastern Baghdad on Saturday, police said. "An IED went off in the area of Camp Sara, eastern Baghdad, wounding one policeman, two Sahwa fighters and three civilians," a security source who spoke on condition of anonymity told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq – (VOI), not giving more details. The Sahwa councils were set up in a number of Iraqi provinces such as al-Anbar, Diala, Ninewa, and Salah al-Din with the aim of bolstering political and local tribal powers to fight armed groups, particularly al-Qaeda network, in those areas. |
