BAGHDAD, Nov. 22 (UPI) -- Two Iraqi police stations in the notorious Sunni triangle came under attack Saturday, leaving at least 12 Iraqis and two bombers dead.
The first blast rocked the station in Baqouba, a city about 35 miles northeast of Baghdad. Minutes later, a second bomb detonated in Khan Bani Saad, a crowded market town south of Baqouba on the road to Baghdad, United Press International reported.
The Khan Bani Saad explosion killed 10 people, including six policemen, three civilians -- among them a 5-year-old girl -- and the bomber, said Capt. Ryan McCormick of the 4th Infantry Division.
To the north in Mosul, police Col. Abdul-Salam Qanbar, protecting oil installations, was fatally shot Saturday evening while heading to a mosque, a police official said.
Also Saturday a U.S. military source said a DHL cargo plane, enroute to Bahrain, was struck by a SAM-7 missile. It returned to the Baghdad airport with some damage but without injury.
