2008-06-21
(VOI)- Five policemen were wounded on Friday afternoon in a suicide car bomb attack on a checkpoint in southeastern Mosul, a senior security source said.

“A car rigged with explosives driven by a suicide bomber, went off at 12:00pm on Friday targeting a police checkpoint in al-Wehda neighborhood in southeastern Mosul, injuring five policemen,” the source, who wished to remain anonymous, told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq (VOI). “Police forces opened fire at the driver, killing him instantly before hitting the checkpoint,” he explained. “The wounded were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment,” the source noted.

#1  From what I hear, police are respected in Mosul. The city is barely occupied by Coalition troops. Collaboration shouldn't be an issue.
