MOSUL, IRAQ (May 15, 2004) – Terrorists attacked the Iraqi Armed Forces Recruiting Center this morning with either rocket or rocket propelled grenade fire killing four Iraqis and wounding 15 others in the neighborhood of Al Sinaai in eastern Mosul. The victims were either new army recruits at the recruitment station waiting to enlist or civilians.

Soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment and Iraqi Police responded with medical assistance and established a security perimeter.

With only 47 days until the transfer of sovereignty, this attack on Iraqi armed forces shows the desperate nature of the terrorist forces who are trying to hinder Iraqi progress toward security and prosperity and stand in the way of freedom and democracy.

Anyone with information about this terrorist attack should inform the Iraqi Police, Coalition forces, or call the Tips Hotline 813-343 or 780-013.
