| NINEWA / Aswat al-Iraq: Three improvised explosive devices went off successively targeting Iraqi judges and forces, leaving four soldiers wounded in central Mosul city on Thursday, a security source said. “Two IEDs went off in unison near a motorcade of judges in al-Tayaran neighborhood, central Mosul, but left no casualties,” the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. “A third IED went off minutes later in the same spot as Iraqi forces cordoned off the site, wounding two officers and two soldiers." He said that the first two blats targeted a motorcade of three vehicles boarding judges of the Ninewa Criminal Court from the capital Baghdad while they were heading home in the fortified area near the Ninewa Operations Command (NOC) headquarters. “An investigation was launched into the incident to detect how these IEDs brought into the area, considered one of the heavily-fortified ones in the city,” he said. |
