| [Ynet]. Suicide boom-mobiles targeting security checkpoints killed 15 people in Iraq on Thursday, officials said. Police said a jacket wallah rammed his explosives-laden car into a police checkpoint in the town of Youssifiyah, just south of the capital Baghdad, killing three police and four civilians, and wounding another 21 people. Later on, a suicide bomber driving a pickup loaded with explosives struck a checkpoint manned by police and Shiite bully boyz near the city of Samarra, killing eight people and wounding 23 others. Samarra and surrounding areas have repeatedly come under attack in recent months by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group. Samarra is 95 kilometers (60 miles) north of Baghdad. Medical officials confirmed the casualty figures from both attacks. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to journalists. |
