Mosul, (Northern Iraq) -- April 26, -- Two
car bombs and a suicide bomb attack targeting a
Kurdish political party in northern Iraq (outside
Kurdistan region) killed three peshmerga fighters
and wounded 13 others on Thursday, spokesman for the
party said.
The casualties could have been higher if guards had
not opened fire on the two attackers, forcing them
to detonate their explosives at least 50 yards from
the office, police said.
The attack targeted the office of Kurdish Democratic
Party in the town of Zammar on the outskirts of
Iraq's northern Kurdish province of Dohuk, Abdul
Gani Ali told AFP.
It was the second suicide attack this week aimed at
the KDP in that area.
"Three peshmerga fighters are killed and 13 others
wounded," Gani said.
Thursday's attack was the second such assault
targeting the party's offices in the past three days
in northern Iraq.
On Monday, a car bomb
outside a KDP office in the mainly Christian
town of Tal Isquf near Mosul left 10 people dead and
20 wounded.
KDP is headed by powerful Kurdish leader Massud
Barzani who is the president of Iraq's northern
Kurdistan region.
