MOSUL, IRAQ (February 27, 2005) – For the second time today an insurgent attack killed and injured a number of Iraqi citizens in northern Iraq.
Four Iraqi citizens were killed and another two were injured during a drive-by shooting in northwestern Mosul. This was the second attack of the day in which Iraqi citizens were targets. The first insurgent attack of the day occurred just outside Mosul in Hamam Al Alil. The injured citizens were taken to a local hospital.
Insurgents continue to recklessly disregard the safety of their fellow citizens during their attacks. Insurgents have killed 14 and injured at least 24 Iraqi citizens during attacks in northern Iraq in the last week.
Iraqi Security Forces continue to work together with Multi-National Forces from Task Force Freedom, leaders and citizens of Iraq to help build and maintain a prosperous and democratic nation. Anyone with information on anti-Iraqi insurgent minority activities should call the Joint Coordination Center’s telephone numbers at 513462 or 07701623300.
