| [AA.TR] Eight people were killed on Saturday and another 22 injured in separate attacks in Iraq's violence-plagued Baghdad and Diyala provinces, according to local security sources. "One police officer was killed and three others injured when unidentified attackers hurled grenades at a police patrol in southeastern Baghdad's Jesr Diyala district," a local police captain, speaking anonymously, told Anadolu Agency. Elsewhere in Baghdad, five people were killed and 19 others injured -- mostly civilians -- by four bombs that went off in the province's Al-Azamiya, Al-Tarmiya, Al-Mashtal districts, and by another that rocked central Baghdad's Al-Mansur neighborhood, according to the same police source. In Diyala, meanwhile, a local police source told Anadolu Agency that two coppers had been killed when gunnies opened fire on their car in central Baqubah, the historic provincial capital. In a related development the same day, the Iraqi Journalistic Freedoms Observatory, a local NGO, said in a statement that the Daesh murderous Moslem group had executed a local journalist after abducting him from his home in central djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , a Daesh stronghold. According to the NGO, the victim -- identified as Yahia Abd Hamad -- had worked as director of Al-Rashid, a Mosul-based broadcaster. Located some 400 kilometers north of Baghdad, Mosul -- Iraq's second largest city -- is the Daesh murderous Moslem group's de facto capital, which it overran in June of last year. |
