 Nine Iraqi soldiers killed in roadside bomb
 
 
 
 
 
 
MOSUL, Iraq (AFP) - – Nine Iraqi soldiers were killed on Wednesday by a roadside bomb on the outskirts of the main northern city of Mosul, police said.
 
The off-duty troops were in a minibus on a road heading northwest from Mosul when the vehicle struck the bomb at around 11:00 am (0800 GMT), a police official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
 
Six other soldiers, all members of the Iraqi army's Third Division, were wounded in the attack, the official said.
 
Mosul, 350 kilometres (220 miles) north of Baghdad, and surrounding Nineveh province remain one of the most violent areas of Iraq, even as attacks in the rest of the country have dropped off after peaking in 2006 and 2007 during a brutal sectarian war.
 
Violence appears to have risen again in recent months, with July and August recording two of the highest monthly death tolls since 2008, according to Iraqi figures.
