Suicide car bomb wounds 30 in Iraq's northern Mosul
Source: Xinhua News Agency

MOSUL, Iraq, Jan. 20 -- Thirty people were wounded when a suicide car bomber struck an Iraqi army and police compound in the northern city of Mosul on Wednesday, while another car bomb detonated in a crowded area and a third one was defused by the police, a local police source said.

"Our reports said that 15 soldiers, five policemen and 10 civilians were wounded by the suicide car bombing," the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

A suicide bomber drove his explosive rigged car to the entrance of a compound comprising an army base and the al-Zuhour police station in the Qadsiyah neighborhood in northern Mosul, the source said.

In a separate incident, an explosive charge went off at the Dawassa neighborhood in central the city, without causing casualty, the source said, adding that explosive experts defused a car bomb parking in same area at the crowded neighborhood.

The police apparently thwarted a tactic usually used by insurgents to blow up a bomb and to follow it by another explosion when Iraqi security forces arrive at the scene of the first blast, the source said.
