They then engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with an unknown number of gunmen. The shootout lasted until dawn.<br \/>The Iraqi police recovered a car bomb, a home-made bomb, a grenade, a pistol with a silencer, and a rocket-propelled grenade at the site of the shootout.<br \/>Also on Saturday, a bomber attacked an emergency police patrol in Mosul, killing a policeman and injuring seven others, three of whom were civilians.<br \/>A volatile ethnic mix of Sunni Arabs, Kurds, and Christians, Mosul has been the scene of frequent shootings and bombings. The capital city of Iraq&#8217;s Nineveh province is situated some 396 kilometers (250 miles) northwest of Baghdad.<br \/>In addition, one policeman was shot dead and two others were injured after they came under attack in Fallujah on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Press TV<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At least 60 people have been killed and 70 others injured by a triple bombing that ripped through the center of Iraq&#8217;s southern port city of Basra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
