Two bombs exploded minutes apart Sunday near buses carrying Christian students in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, killing at least one bystander and injuring around 100 others, a security official said. A shop owner in the area was killed in Sunday's attack, said Abdul-Rahim Al-Shammari, head of the provincial council's security committee. The injured included students and other civilians, he said. The attack began with a roadside bomb that exploded around 7:30 A.M. and appeared to target buses carrying students to Mosul University. Moments later, a car bomb exploded nearby. At least 17 people with serious wounds were taken to a hospital in Irbil, in the Kurdish autonomous region, said Dr. Muhsin Shamzi, who works at the hospital. “Today was terrible and I will not forget it for the rest of my life,” said Wisam Jarji, a student who was wounded in the blast. “Following the explosion, the situation in the bus was chaotic and I could see blood stains and hear screams all over the place.”
