Iraqi police: Judges targeted by bombs
Monday, June 30, 2008 | No comments posted.
BAGHDAD (AP) — Four Iraqi judges were targeted by bombs in separate attacks today in Baghdad, resulting in injuries but no deaths, police said.
One of the bombs wounded the head judge in Sadr City, Ghanim Abdullah al-Quraishi, along with his wife and daughter, a police official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media. The bomb was planted near al-Quraishi’s car in a parking lot in a northeastern part of the city, the officer said.
The three other judges attacked — Alaa Hussein Salih, Ali al-Allaq and Hassan Fouad — work for the al-Risafa court system in eastern Baghdad. Bombs were planted on or near the houses or cars of the judges, all of whom escaped unharmed.
The motives behind the bombings remain unclear, but the judges were all attacked in heavily Shiite areas of Baghdad.
