Attack plan with two explosive belts against Ninewa Council’s Chairman foiled:

NINEWA / IraqiNews.com: North Iraq’s Ninewa’s 2nd Army Division has foiled an attempt by two explosive belts against the Chairman of Ninewa Provincial Council on Sunday, the Iraqi Army‘s 10th Division’s Media Director said. “A force, belonging to the Iraqi Army‘s 10th Division, stationed in Mosul city, had managed to foil a suicide attack against the Chiarman of Ninewa Province’s Council, Jabur al-Abdullah, in northern Mosul‘s Arab District on Sunday,” Imaduddin Abdul-Karim told IraqiNews.com news agency. Abul-Karim said that the two explosive belts were hanged on a palm-tree on the side-road passing by the residence of the Council’s Chairman, where he passes through every day, and the 2nd Division’s forces had succeeded to dismantle them, causing no losses. “It seems the armed men had laid the two explosive belts on that three, in order to simplify the entrance of the suicide bombers through the checkpoints, in order to put on the explosive belts and attack the Council’s Chairman, when he gets out of his residence. Mosul, the center of Ninewa Province, is 405 kms to the north of Baghdad. AH (A) / SKH 46
