Three Indian nurses injured as Sunni insurgents move them
Sunni insurgents Thursday forced all 46 Indian women nurses to move out of a hospital in Iraq where they had been holed up, injuring three of them, officials said.
Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said there was “no reason for any anxiety” as the nurses were moved in three buses to an unknown destination by the insurgents who control large parts of Iraq.
The external affairs ministry said separately that some nurses — all of them from Kerala — suffered “minor injuries” during the shifting but that all of them were safe.
