| (VOI) - Security forces on Wednesday arrested eight suspects believed to be involved in detonating a car bomb and killing tribal chieftains in Mosul, a Ninewa operations spokesman said. "A support battalion of Ninewa operations command captured eight suspects in al-Mansour and al-Mamoon districts, south-west Mosul," Brig. Khalid Abdel Sattar, spokesman for Ninewa operations, told Aswat al-Iraq - Voices of Iraq - (VOI) "The security official noted "the detainees were believed to be involved in killing a soldier, robbing his car and blowing it up in Nabi Sheet district, central Mosul," adding "they were implicated in killing a number of tribal chieftains who were working for the city service." Earlier, a Mosul police source said a car bomb went off in Nabi Sheet district last Thursday. Talafar chief Najim Abdullah told VOI two of the city tribal chieftains who struck deals to foster reconciliatory meetings were assassinated last Monday. |
