BAGHDAD, Aug 24 (KUNA) -- At least four Iraqi people were killed, including
two police personnel, and 15 others were injured Sunday in twin explosions
that rocked the Iraqi capital, police sources said.
Sources pointed out that the explosion was caused by the detonation of
improvised explosive devices targeting a patrol vehicle along a recently
reopened sideroad leading to the Ministry of Interior, killing two police
officers and injuring two others.
Few minutes later, another explosive device went off as a crowd of people
gathered around the scene of the blast, claiming two people's lives and
wounding 13 others, as well as causing material damage to nearby cars.
Iraqi police forces sealed off the scene, and the injured were admitted to
Al-Kindi Hospital for medical care. (end)
