Bomb blast claims 2 civilians in Mosul |
2008-12-16 |
At least two Iraqi civilians have been killed as a bomb planted in a car exploded in south of Mosul, an Iraqi security official said. "An explosive device was detonated inside a civilian car in al-Shoura district in southern Mosul. As a result, two civilians were killed," the source - speaking under the guise of anonymity - told Voices of Iraq on Monday. The source added security forces have launched a through investigation into the incident, as the motive behind the attack remains obscure. Despite some recent security gains, Mosul, the capital city of Iraq's Nineveh province still remains restive and volatile. The city is situated some 396 km (250 miles) northwest of Baghdad. Explosions, rampant throughout war-battered Iraq, claim civilian lives and leave many others wounded almost every day. |
