NINEWA / Aswat al-Iraq: A female college student was killed on Thursday and one gunman wounded in clashes between police and unknown armed men, in northern Mosul city, said a source from Ninewa province’s police.

“The clashes took place in front of Mosul University’s campus, in the north of the city,” the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

“The armed confrontations occurred when police forces were able to identify a booby-trapped car driven by a number of individuals in Al-Majmoa Al-Thaqafiya neighborhood, near the University,” he said.

“Police forces tracked the gunmen after they left the car,” he added.

“Experts detonated the car without causing any casualties,” he noted.
