MOSUL, Iraq's Ninewa province, — Kurdish
Union Federation leading member announced that a
senior party official escaped on Wednesday an
assassination attempt east of Mosul.
Muhyidin al-Mazouri told Aswat al-Iraq that Mosul
deputy responsible of the party Kibir Koran escaped
the bomb explosion targeting his convoy east of
Mosul.
No casualties were reported except some damages in
the vehicle, as stated by Koran.
No other details were given.
Mosul is one of the hot places in Iraq which
witnesses armed attacks against the security forces
and the civilians, alike.
Mosul, capital city of Ninewa province in Iraq, near
the border with Kurdistan region, lies 405 km north of Baghdad. The Yazidis are primarily ethnic Kurds located
near Mosul. Some 350,000 Kurdish Yazidis live in villages
around Mosul near Kurdistan autonomous region
border.
Article 140 of the Iraqi constitution states that
there will be a referendum in the areas bordering
the Kurdistan autonomous region, including the
northern oil city of Kirkuk, so that people can
choose whether to be ruled by the central government
or the Kurds.
