VIED Attacks Fail
Iraqi Police and emergency services responded to a pair of vehicle-borne improvised explosive device detonations in northwestern Baghdad that wounded four Iraqi civilians at approximately 11 a.m., June 6.
Soldiers from Company D, 1st Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment, operating in Baghdad with the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, also responded to the explosion site providing security and assistance to the Iraqi Police in the Kadamiyah Security District shortly after the attack.
The unit reported only four Iraqi civilians were wounded from one of the explosions. No Iraqi civilians were killed in either blast. The injured civilians were treated for minor wounds assessed by Coalition medics on the scene.
Numerous local shops and vehicles were damaged by the explosions.
A third car bomb was found nearby approximately 50 minutes later, just south of the simultaneous explosions in a neighboring section of Kadamiyah. Iraqi Army troops found the car bomb and successfully dismantled it, reporting no injuries or damage.
