An Iraqi policeman was killed and two others were wounded during a
sabotage attack on power lines in the
province
of
Diyala
, northeast
of
Baghdad
, a
government spokesman said Wednesday.
"The electricity supply of 400 megawatts from the Iranian city of
Kermanshah
to
Diyala has been suspended as a result of a sabotage Tuesday that destroyed four
towers and cut the line," said electricity ministry spokesman Mussaab
al-Mudares.
Mudares said the attack took place in the region of
Lake
Hamrin
, 50
kilometers northeast of Baquba. The collapse of the towers killed one officer
and wounded two others.
The ministry announced on Monday the establishment of a new power line of 400
MW between the Iranian city of
Karha
and
Amara, 300 kilometers to the south of
Baghdad
.
Four lines, with a total capacity of 1,000 MW, now link
Iran
to
Iraq
,
which suffers from severe power shortages.
In the disputed northern city of
Kirkuk
, two
people were killed in separate explosions caused by magnetic bombs attached to
their cars.
An executive director of a railways company, Walid Khodair Said, of Kurdish
origin, was killed in the south of the city. Soon after, an entrepreneur of
Arab origin, Nazem Assis Mansur al-Tai, was killed in the southeast of the
city, a security official said.
