- Story Text: A suicide bomber in Baghdad kills at least two
civilians and wounds three in an attack at U.S. military,
A suicide bomber detonated his car at U.S. tanks,
killing two civilians and injuring at least three others
in Baghdad on Saturday (February 26).
The attack took place in Al-Adil, a district in western
Baghdad.
The explosion wrecked number of civilian cars,
witnesses said.
"What happened is that I was driving on the highway
road, when a car came near a tank and exploded. Due to the
force of the explosion I found myself here in this place.
(Question: inaudible) I did not see anything. I found
myself here in this place," said witness Ghanawi Ali.
Insurgents often attack U.S. convoys with car and
suicide bombings in a relentless campaign to drive them out
of the country.
There was no immediate comment from the U.S. military
on the attack.
Near Kirkuk, saboteurs blew up an oil pipeline in the
latest attack on Iraq's oil facilities.
Oil officials said a bomb went off under a section of a
pipeline running crude oil from Dibis (55 km) north of
Kirkuk to the fields of the oil rich city. Security officials said
they were trying to beef up
protection of the pipeline system after insurgents
threatened a newly formed protection force recruited from
tribes in the area.
Insurgent attacks on the cluster of pipelines, a
crucial source of power for the capital, have slowed the
country's recovery.
The north accounts for 30 per cent of the country's oil
output of 2.5 million barrels per day.
The chief of the Iraqi border police said on Friday
(February 25) Iraqi police had arrested nine suspected
terrorists from neighbouring Arab countries while they were
trying to cross into Iraq.
"A number of terrorists tried to enter this country
[Iraq]. After seeing them, we chased and then arrested them
and sent them to the [police] headquarters," Hussein
al-Ghazali told a news conference in Najaf.
The Iraqi government claims to have captured large
numbers of foreign fighters and has urged neighbouring
countries to do more to help prevent infiltration of
militants who cross into the war-ravaged country to fight
U.S.-led coalition forces.
U.S. officials had long blamed foreign fighters of
playing a role in Iraq's 15-month-old insurgency.
