| MOSUL- Three suicide bombers killed at least four policemen and wounded nine police and army personnel in two separate attacks in Iraq's restive northern city of Mosul on Thursday, security officials said. The first attack occurred when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a police checkpoint, killing four policemen and wounding four others, in a western part of Mosul, 390 km (240 miles) north of Baghdad, police said. Two other suicide bombers attacked the main gate of an Iraqi army base in eastern Mosul, wounding five soldiers, an army source said. Iraq is on high alert for insurgent attacks after a March 7 national election produced no clear winner and left the country adrift in political uncertainty. |
