American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7, 2006 – Six Iraqi civilians, including three children, were injured along with four police yesterday when a car bomber attacked an Iraqi police patrol in Mosul.
An Iraqi bomb squad searched the terrorist's destroyed vehicle and found 12 mortar rounds that failed to detonate. The unexploded mortars were taken to a nearby military base for disposal.

U.S. soldiers from the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team helped to provide security around the blast site and assisted in driving off some terrorists who were firing at Iraqi police and rescue units called in to aid the bombing victims.
