Kirkuk,
Kurdistan-Iraq, November 13, -– Unidentified gunmen
shot dead a director of a power plant in Kirkuk, a
source at the joint coordination security center in
Kirkuk said on Monday.
"An armed group gunned down Abdullah Hamza, director
of Mullah Abdullah power plant, while he was heading
to Debis town, 25 km northwest of Kirkuk,"
Lieutenant Bakhtiar Ahmad said.
Meanwhile, the source said "an armed group had blown
up an electricity tower on Sunday, causing a
complete
blackout in and around Kirkuk."
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 is to be held in late 2007 to decide
whether the oil-rich Kurdish province should be
annexed to the safe semiautonomous Kurdistan region
in Iraq's north.
