| [Iran Press TV] Twin kabooms have rocked a nearby military checkpoint in Iraq's northern oil-rich province of Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... killing one Iraqi soldier. The attack took place early Tuesday morning in the town of Tuz Khormato, about 89 kilometers (55 miles) south of Kirkuk. A soldier was maimed when two improvised bombs blew up, Aswat al-Iraq news agency reported. Police cordoned off the area after the incident and launched an investigation to establish the motive behind the twin blasts. The Iraqi soldier died of his injuries while he was being shifted to a local hospital. Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch... two police bomb disposal experts were seriously injured north of Tikrit when they were trying to defuse a bomb planted in a car. The blast also severely damaged dozens of vehicles. The powerful shock wave released by the kaboom also shattered windowpanes of a number of surrounding buildings. Separately, unidentified assailant broke into a house in Storied Baghdad's northeastern neighborhood of al-Suliekh on Tuesday and rubbed out a civil servant. In another incident in western Storied Baghdad, gunnies bumped off a surgeon, identified as Wesam Ali Karim, and a stewardess, who was with him at the time. |
