Two killed, 13 injured in separate attacks in Mosul (Roundup)

Baghdad - Two separate suicide attacks in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul left two dead and 13 injured on Tuesday, while elsewhere in Iraq journalists and parliamentarians showed support for besieged Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. In western Mosul's Yarmouk district, a suicide bomber detonated an explosives belt near an army patrol, killing two persons and injuring six, security sources told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa. Earlier in the city's Mosul al-Jadida area, a suicide car bomber blew himself up near a police patrol wounding seven persons, five of them policemen. Mosul is located about 400 kilometres north of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad. In Babel province, journalists participated in a sit-in organized by the local branch of the Iraqi Journalists' Syndicate to express solidarity with Palestinians who have been subjected to Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip for more than a week. 'We condemn the Israeli aggression, and we call on the international community and the United Nations Security Council to intervene to stop this massacre,' Thamir al-Rubaie, the branch's manager, told the Voices of Iraq (VOI) news agency. The Iraqi parliament in Baghdad is to hold an extraordinary session on January 11 to discuss the Gaza situation, First Deputy Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament Sheikh Khalid al-Attiya said.
