Erbil, Kurdistan Region, Iraq
At a few minutes past 8am today,
a truck-bomb exploded
in the street outside the Kurdistan Regional
Government’s Ministry of Interior in Erbil. Fourteen
people were killed and 87 injured. Several of those
injured are in a critical condition while the
majority have light injuries, according to our
health services.
This is the only such terrorist attack in the
Kurdistan Region since 2005.
The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) condemns
this cowardly and barbaric act. Our thoughts are
with the families and friends of the victims and we
thank the emergency services and the people of Erbil
for their response to this incident.
We remain steadfast in our resolve to protect the
people of Kurdistan and to play a positive role in
the global effort to defeat terrorism.
The KRG and our security forces are determined that
the peace and stability in our Region will continue,
while we make every effort to improve the security
situation in other parts of Iraq.

Kurdistan Regional Government
