Baghdad blasts wound four policemen, five Ministry of Health employees

BAGHDAD, Oct 26 (KUNA) -- Nine Iraqis were injured in two separate bomb explosions in east and northern Baghdad on Sunday, Iraqi police sources said.
Sources told KUNA that a bomb exploded at the municipalities intersection, eastern Baghdad, as a police patrol was passing, causing the injury of four police officers and serious damage to their vehicle.
Meanwhile in Northern Baghdad, a bomb exploded near the Ministry of Health, injuring five employees.
The blasts coincided with Iraqi official statements that claimed improved security conditions, which contradicts the Coalition forces' reading of the situation on the ground. The latter uses the adjective "fragile".(end) mhg.sab KUNA 261342 Oct 08NNNN
