Bombings kill 3 in Mosul

MOSUL, Iraq, June 15 (UPI) -- Separate attacks in and around the northern Iraqi city of Mosul left three civilians dead and four policemen injured, officials said Tuesday.

In one attack late Monday, Iraqi police said gunmen broke into a house in the al-Yousef area south of Mosul, killing three family members, the Kuwaiti news agency KUNA reported.
