| Two Iraqis civilians were killed and five more wounded when a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device was detonated July 28 in the Rusafa District of eastern Baghdad. The civilians were killed and wounded when insurgents detonated the car bomb near the Riyadh and Babil Hayy border in Rusafa. Iraqi Army forces were on site to cordon off the area and help tend to the wounded. The wounded were transported to Medical City for treatment. Following the attack, Soldiers with the 2nd Combined Arms Battalion, 69th Infantry Regiment, attached to the 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division rushed to the scene, along with members from the Military Iraqi Transition Team, to provide support and help seal off the area. This was the 15th car bomb attack in the Rusafa area this month. The incident is under investigation. |
