TIKRIT, Iraq – A terrorist bomb detonated against an Iraqi ambulance near the Salah Ad Din town of Mukayshifah, severely injuring three innocent civilians Tuesday.

Coalition Forces responded to the blast site and provided medical assistance to the injured. All three wounded civilians were transported to a Coalition medical facility for treatment.

“This is a deplorable act by the terrorists in this area to target injured Iraqis and medical personnel,” said Col. Bryan Owens, commander of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division. “It is apparent that terrorists don’t differentiate amongst Iraqi civilians, Iraqi security forces, and Coalition forces. No matter who pays the price, these terrorists are content as long as they continue to cause death, destruction, and damage to the Iraqis and their infrastructure.”
