BAGHDAD – An improvised explosive device exploded in eastern Baghdad killing two national police officers and a civilian, Aug. 19, 2008.
Initial reports indicate two NPs were also wounded in the attack.
National police officers from 2nd Battalion, 4th Brigade, 1st National Police Division, were leaving a water distribution site when the IED went off. The wounded were transported to a local area medical facility for treatment.
"This criminal attack has been carried out with total disregard for the lives of innocent Iraqi civilians," said Maj. Joey Sullinger, spokesperson for 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, Multi-National Division – Baghdad. "Militants claiming to represent the people's best interests continue to attack them along with the Iraqi security forces that provide their protection. The Iraqi people must stand as one to fight militant criminals who want to do them harm and destroy their hopes for a better, more peaceful future. Only then will the people and their children be free."
