Kurdistan head of the financial ministry in
Sulaimaniyah, was targeted in Al-Kadraa neighborhood
in Kirkuk.
The attack resulted in the death of the official and

The former Iraqi president forced about 250,000
Kurdish residents to give up their homes to Arabs in
the 1970s, to "Arabize" the city and the region's
oil industry.
Kirkuk city is not under the full control of
Kurdistan Regional Government administration. A
referendum in 2007 will decide whether the oil-rich
Kurdish province should be annexed to the safe
semiautonomous Kurdistan region in Iraq's north.
