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

[Vladimir]

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.
