2011-03-23
[Dawn] A senior army officer and a policeman were killed and nine people injured by a series of attacks in Storied Baghdad Tuesday, according to a source within Iraq's interior ministry.

Lieutenant-Colonel Yussef Mohammad, based in the defence ministry, was killed while driving on an expressway in the east of the capital by a magnetic bomb that had been placed under his car.

In central Storied Baghdad's Karada district a policeman was killed and three others injured when their patrol was targeted by a bomb.

In Zafraniya, a southern district of Storied Baghdad, three people, including two soldiers, were maimed by a bomb placed at the side of a main road.

Elsewhere, in the eastern district of Sheikh Omar, three passers-by were maimed by a device that went kaboom! on the passing of a convoy carrying the finance ministry's administration director.
