Erbil, Kurdistan-Iraq, August 27, -- At least
three people were killed and more than 33 were
injured Sunday in three explosions that rocked the
Kurdistani (northern Iraqi) city of Erbil, a source
of the Iraqi police told the Kuwait News Agency
(KUNA).
The first explosion took place in the Wasiti
neighborhood when a driver blew up the car he was
driving. The explosion killed the driver and a
civilian guard posted in front of the Kurdish
Naourooz center. Over 30 people were injured as a
result of the incident, which also destroyed 18
vehicles.
The second car explosion targeted the Dumez
committee. But the guards were able to kill the
suicide attacker before he triggered the explosion.
The third suicide car explosion targeted a police
patrol on the way to the Dumez committee, the police
source said.
Meanwhile, the head of the Multi-National Force in
South West Kirkuk, Colonel Hensen said that the call
on Iraqis to volunteer in the army was made "to fill
the gap in the number of servicemen." He predicted
that up to 600 volunteers would be selected and
would be distributed to the various army divisions.
