Iraq, Military, 3/25/2006

Outcome of victims of the attacks in Iraq increased to 14 persons including one Danish soldier after the killing of 6 persons and injuring other 17 near two mosques for the Arab Sunni in al-Zubeir and al-Khales.

Five persons were killed on Friday and others injured after they performed their Friday prayers in al-Khales to the northeast of Baghdad and south of Basra over a sectarian background. In al-Khales, a bomb exploded in front of Saad Bin Abi Waqqas mosque and resulted in killing five Iraqi Sunnis and injured other 17, while one Iraqi was killed in al-Zubeir south of Basra after he had left a mosque.

Worthy mentioning that several Sunni mosques have been exposed to attacks over sectarian background following the explosion of Samaraa in February. There have not been clear reports to indicate who is behind these attacks and the motives.

In a series of separate incidents in Iraq, seven persons were killed including one police officer and other seven were injured. Five persons were killed including a police officer and other two including one police man injured in two consecutive explosions in al-Seydeh south of Baghdad.

In al-Yarmouk north of Baghdad, two policemen were killed and a third was injured in an attack that hit their vehicle while one police man was injured as one mortar fell at a police center in al-Madaen.

In Falluja, a suicide bomber detonated a booby trapped car when one American vehicle was running, but Iraqi security sources said that the attack resulted in no casualties.
