2022-01-02
[SHAFAQ] The corpse count from the landmine blast that took place in Basra, far south of Iraq, earlier today, Saturday, has risen to seven, all from the same family.

A source told Shafaq News Agency seven members of the family of the well-known Shiite holy man, Ahmed Abu Lefteh, perished in the earth-shattering kaboom.

"Five others were maimed," the source added.

Earlier, a security source revealed that five members of the same family died in a kaboom while on a trip to the northern al-Rumayla desert in Basra. Five others were severely injured.
