Terrorist attacks kill one civilian, injure another

MOSUL, IRAQ (July 14, 2005) – One Iraqi civilian was killed and another injured during two terrorist attacks in northern Iraq today.

An Iraqi civilian was killed during a mortar attack conducted by terrorists near a military checkpoint in Tal Afar. A civilian was injured with small arms fire by terrorists firing in to a eastern Mosul neighborhood. The civilian was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Terrorist attacks have continually targeted innocent civilians killing 19 and injuring 72 over the past 15 days in northern Iraq.

One civilian killed after speeding towards Security Force patrol

MOSUL, IRAQ (July 14, 2005) – One Iraqi civilian was killed after his vehicle sped towards an Iraq Army and Multi-National Force patrol in northern Mosul today. The driver of the vehicle did not yield to warning shots fired at his vehicle. The threat of suicide car bombings cause Soldiers to fire on the vehicle in order to protect against such an attack.

The military must take appropriate action to ensure the security of checkpoints, patrols, and convoys. Iraqi citizens should stop immediately when warning shots have been fired. For safety and security, warning shots, the signs posted at military checkpoints, traffic signs, and signs posted within military convoys must be obeyed.
