Damn too bad I don't read Kurdi very well. But it were terrorists right? And where was the attack? On a police station/car/checkpoint??

Thank you, Vladimir. This is more news than I heard shortly after I found out about the explosion. I heard that one traffic police and a regular police were killed. I did hear that it was TNT, and that it happened on the road that goes by the Mazi Market, on the way out of town. There's a zoo and a WFP warehouse out that way, new housing going up, and then you're basically on your way to Zaxo.

There is a big checkpoint out in that direction, but I don't think it's on the same road. It's on the main one that comes in from Zaxo and has a branch that goes off toward Mûsil.

Sorry about that Vladimir. I'm sure you know by now but there was a roadside TNT explosion over there, and when police arrived, another bunch of TNT exploded and killed one officer and wounded eight others (officers and civilians) That's all they're really saying

Thanks for the information anyway. Normally a Kurd translates it for me.. But he isn't there now.. his internet is out for the moment.
