SALAH AL-DIN / Aswat al-Iraq: Explosives experts on Tuesday defused an improvised explosive device (IED) in a Tikrit University lecture hall, according to a local media source.

“While conducting a routine check on the university’s facilities, security guards found a locally-made explosive charge connected to a mobile phone inside a lecture hall,” a media source from the university told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.
“Explosives experts were immediately on the scene,” the source added.
“The university’s president, Maher Allawi, has set up a committee, comprised of Salah al-Din’s police command and the university’s security staff, to probe the incident,” he added.

Tikrit, the capital city of Salah al-Din province, lies 175 km north of Baghdad.
