12:30 p.m.
Another two Iraqi civilians were killed and eight civilians and two
Coalition soldiers were wounded when attackers fired seven mortar
rounds and a rocket-propelled grenade at a Coalition compound near
Tall Afar around 8:44 pm. Iraqi police assisted with the evacuation of
civilians to local treatment centers. Neither soldier was seriously
injured.

rockets in populated areas, often missing their military targets and
killing and injuring innocent civilians, and damaging property in
Mosul and the surrounding region.

ICDC, Coalition Forces, or call the Tips Hotline 813-343 or 780-013.
