| Mosul, 16 August (AKI) - Iraqi police on Wednesday killed five 'terrorists' and arrested another six following a gunfight in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, security sources said. "For almost one hour police units clashed with terrorist gangs in the districts of al-Yarmuk and al-Risala, in western Mosul," said the source, who spoke on condition of anonimity. Monday's clash comes a day after a suicide bomber detonated a truck rigged with explosives outside the offices of a top Kurdish political party in Mosul, killing nine people and wounding 36. Five Kurdish peshmerga militiamen were among the dead, police said. The blast outside the office of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, led by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, also wounded 24 militiamen. The rest of the victims were civilians. |
