MOSUL, IRAQ (October 26, 2004) – Three terrorists were killed Monday when the car bomb they parked near the Mosul Provincial Hall prematurely detonated. No one else was killed or wounded in the blast.
The three men, two dressed in police uniforms, drove through a checkpoint and into an outer parking area near the seat of Mosul provincial government where they parked the vehicle loaded with artillery shells. As one of the men, Sahir Khodhir, walked away from the vehicle, the car exploded, instantly killing the two men inside and wounding Khodhir, who later died of wounds at the hospital.
Wires and a remote detonation device were found on Khodhir’s body. One man killed in the blast was his brother and the other worked as his bodyguard. Reports stating Khodhir was a tribal leader in the northern region of Iraq are false.
