A
Kurdistan Democratic Party unit was attacked in
northern Iraqi city of Mosul Thursday, as fresh
violence continues to escalate throughout the
province.
The armed confrontation occurred in daylight in the
suburb district of Islahi Ziraai of Mosul, where KDP
forces have been located since they were stationed
after deployment in November last year.
Another man was found dead in Qerqoush, some 10
miles north west of Mosul. A Patriotic Union of
Kurdistan spokesman said on Thursday that the body
was identified as a member of the PUK armed forces
in the city.
Clashes between the unidentified insurgents and the
Kurds have entered a new phase outside the semi
autonomous region of Iraq’s Kurdistan, near the
Syrian borders.
The border gate known as Rebiea gate was closed last
week by the US military, as local residents of
Kurdish origin claimed to have reportedly witnessed
systematic incursion by militant insurgents from
other side of the border into Iraq.
At least 12 bodies were also found in Kirkuk last
Tuesday, local police said, buried in a mass grave.
Identification of the bodies continues while police
says most of the bodies wore Kurdish customary
cloths.
