Baghdad

IED discovered inside officer’s car

BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com: A Baghdad security source has said on Thursday that the garage of Baghdad’s Governorate found a suspected Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in a car belonging to a police officer working with the Iraqi Interior Ministry. “An explosives unit have headed towards the garage to dismantle an IED attached to the police officer’s car, whilst the street leading to the garage passing by the Iranian Embassy had been closed, and the explosive charge was dismantled,” the security source told IraqiNews.com News Agency. The Iraqi capital of Baghdad on Tuesday witnessed a series of explosions that killed 64 civilians and wounded about 360 others, hours after the mourning of dozens of Christian worshipers who were killed in a terrorist attack on the Lady of Salvation Church in central Baghdad’s Karrada district early this week.
