Iraqi Police sources told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that an explosive device blew up targeting an Iraqi Police patrol, noting that the blast killed two civilians who were nearby the blast. Also, a civilian was abducted by masked gunmen in central Mosul, said the sources. In Kirkuk, Iraqi Police sources told KUNA that unknown gunmen blew up the tomb of religious leader Ahmad Thiyab Al-Nuaimi in the area of Tarkalan in southern Kirkuk. The sources added that gunmen used huge quantities of explosives, leaving gross property damages in the tomb. Meanwhile, about 1,000 Iraqi soldiers, packed by US air support, executed a wide-scale search operation in Zayton village and nearby areas southwest of Kirkuk based upon intelligence reports on the presence of gunmen in the area. |

| #2 Tomb blasting is a trademark op of Zarqawi's old outfit (who's running it now?) That is, unless it was a 'work accident' by some of Mookie's boys. |
