| [Iran Press TV] Seven people were killed in Storied Baghdad and surrounding areas and the Green Zone was attacked in another day of bombings and shootings in Iraq. Three coppers were killed on Sunday when a bomb attack targeted a police checkpoint in Garma, west of Baghdad, AFP reported. Also on Sunday, a roadside kaboom near a fuel station in central Baghdad targeted Sa'id Ne'mah Jaiyash, head of the office of the Shia politician Mowafaq al-Rubaie. Jaiyash was unhurt by the attack, but six civilians were maimed. Another bomb went off in the city of Baquba in Diyala province, killing one person and wounding five others. Diyala province has been the site of numerous attacks. In March this year, 59 people were killed and 73 were maimed when bombs exploded in a crowded market in the town of Khalis. In addition, an Iraqi army colonel, a soldier, and an employee of Iraq's anti-corruption watchdog were rubbed out in the capital on Sunday. Even the Green Zone, Baghdad's most fortified area, which is home to Iraqi government buildings as well as the US Embassy, was not safe. Two mortar rounds landed in the zone, although no one was hurt. |
