Four suspects held in connection of Wednesday's deadly bombs in Iraq
2005-08-18
BAGHDAD (KUNA) -- Iraqi Interior Minister Bayan Baqer Jabr said Wednesday that four people were caught in the vicinity of the three major bombs that were detonated in Baghdad and killed close to 75 people while injuring 95. Among the dead were 20 women and five members of the Iraqi police while the injured included dozens of women and 11 policemen. The four suspects had remote controls that could have been used in detonating the bombs. "The suspects are still being questioned," the minister said in a news statement.

A committee has been formed to investigate the circumstances of the entry of small cars to the Nahda bus station, where one of the attacks took place. Iraqi Presidential Spokesman, Kamram Qaradaghi, had condemned the attacks and so did a spokesman for the Iraqi government, Laith Kubba. For his part, newly-appointed British Ambassador to Iraq, William Patey, deplored the attacks in a talks show Wednesday. "I don't think what is required is more troops, more coalition troops. This is going to take a sustained effort; I think we have seen a short term increase in terrorist activity. We think the trend over last few months has been relatively stable, we see a consistent level of attacks, with some days worse than others," he said about the escalation of violence.
