Col. Adnan Abdulrahman and the Interior Ministry, the attack targeted the station, destroyed it and caused serious damages in nearby shops. Hadithah is located 160 miles (260 kilometers) northwest of the Iraqi capital. The bombing came a day after another bomb exploded yesterday killing 10 Iraqis near the Green Zone in central Baghdad. Late Wednesday, a mortar attack near the northern Iraqi town of Kirkuk killed five Iraqis and wounded two others, a police spokesman said. Col. Adel Abrahim, director of Rahimawa district police station, said that anti-government fighters were targeting his police station 200 meters away but missed, damaging a house in the district four miles (6 km) north of Kirkuk. According to Abrahim, Kurds were cleared from the Rahimawa district during Saddam Hussein’s era but have since returned. |
