Iraqi Police and Task Force Band of Brothers' Soldiers thwarted a terrorist attack against a Mosul police station Wednesday.
The attack began with a terrorist, dressed as a police officer, approached the gate to the police station and detonated his suicide vest, killing himself and wounding six police officers.
Immediately following the explosion, two other masked terrorists attempted to attack the station with small arms fire. Soldiers from the 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division quickly identified and engaged the gunmen, killing both.
The wounded police officers were transported to a nearby coalition medical facility.
