Physician killed, child wounded in Mosul



Ninewa, May 16, (VOI) – A physician was killed by a stray bullet in his home in western Mosul, where also a child was wounded when the Iraqi army detonated an improvised explosive device (IED) on Thursday, a security source said.

"Dr. Muhammad Abdul-Hakim Lawind, a physician at the Ibn Sina Teaching Hospital, was killed when he received a stray bullet in the head while inside his home in al-Najjar neighborhood, western Mosul," the source, who refused to give his name, told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq – (VOI).

"In the 17 Tamuz neighborhood, western Mosul, a child was wounded when an Iraqi army force detonated an IED," the source said, adding the child happened to be near the scene.

The Iraqi government had announced that its forces, backed by U.S. troops, have launched a wide-scale military operation in Ninewa to purge the province of al-Qaeda network gunmen. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had arrived in Ninewa on Wednesday to supervise the operation.

Mosul, the capital of Ninewa, lies 405 km north of Baghdad.
