MOSUL, IRAQ (June 14, 2004) – One Iraqi Police Services officer was killed last night when terrorists attacked an IPS station in the Al Tayaran neighborhood of Mosul with a rocket propelled grenade, followed by small arms fire last night. The attack occurred shortly after 10 p.m. The anti-Iraqi forces exited a vehicle and fired at the station, then fled the scene on foot.

Two Iraqi civilians were wounded and three vehicles were damaged when an improvised explosive device exploded near a bridge on the south side of Mosul at approximately 7:30 pm last night. Local IPS officers treated and transported the wounded to Mosul General Hospital. During the investigation of the scene unexploded ordnance was found and was detonated by the Iraqi Explosive Ordnance Disposal team.

Earlier in the afternoon, soldiers from 5th Battalion, 20th Infantry reported a mortar round impacted near Tal Afar. They went to the area where it was suspected the attack originated and detained three individuals for questioning. There were no injuries reported in this attack.

These terrorists continue to threaten the safety and security of northern Iraq by attacking those committed to protecting the region’s citizens.

Your assistance in locating terrorists will assist Iraqi Security Forces and Coalition soldiers in preventing attacks like this from happening again.
