What's really going on here? Terrorists remote detonating a bomb car with unwitting passengers? Premature detonation before the terrorists could park it and get away? And how does a vehicle, small or otherwise, full of explosives manage to blow up in a marketplace and not kill anyone outside the vehicle, and even leave a survivor in the vehicle? How do we know the vehicle occupants were 'civilians'? How does one define 'civilian' there anyway?
VEHICLE BLAST CLAIMS LIVES IN HUSAYBAH, IRAQ
CAMP AL ASAD, Iraq – A vehicle exploded in a marketplace claiming several lives and injuring others Tuesday in the Iraq/Syria border city of Husaybah, Iraq.
A small vehicle loaded with explosives and carrying three Iraqi civilians detonated, killing two and injuring one. A bystander was also injured in the blast.
Of the two occupants killed, one was declared dead at the scene while the other died while being transported to a local hospital by Husaybah Police who were the first to arrive at the scene to administer first-aid.
Police transported the injured occupant and bystander—an Iraqi woman—to a local hospital for further treatment. Their condition is unknown at this time. |
