Kurds targeted: Dozens (perhaps over 100) killed in Iraq bombings |
Updated: 10:17 AM EST
Twin Bombings Kill at Least 57 in Iraq
Sources Say Death Tolls Could Easily Rise Above 100
By SCHEHEREZADE FARAMARZI, AP
IRBIL, Iraq (Feb. 1) - Two suicide bombers struck the offices of two rival
Kurdish parties in near simultaneous attacks Sunday as hundreds of Iraqis
gathered to celebrate a Muslim holiday. At least 57 people were killed and more
than 235 were wounded, officials said.
One Kurdish minister said the death toll could rise above 100.
Also Sunday, about 20 Iraqis were killed in an explosion at a munitions dump in
the Polish-controlled south-central region of the country, according to a
spokesman for Polish-led international peacekeepers.
The blast occurred after midnight in the desert about 112 miles southwest of
Karbala after Iraqis broke into the munitions storage site, military spokesman
Col. Robert Strzelecki told the Polish news agency PAP. Karbala is about 60
miles southwest of Baghdad. U.S. military officials had no information on the
blast.
The attacks at the Irbil offices of the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the
Patriotic Union of Kurdistan occurred as party leaders were receiving hundreds
of visitors to mark the start of the four-day Muslim holiday, Eid Al-Adha, or
the Feast of Sacrifice.
The dead included the governor of the region, ministers in the local
administration and several senior officials, Mohammed Ihsan, the minister for
human rights for the Kurdish regional government, told The Associated Press.
The U.S. command in Baghdad said it had no information about the attack.
Irbil city morgue director Tawana Kareem told the AP that 57 bodies were
brought to the morgue and "figures are increasing.'' At least 235 people were
admitted to the city's three hospitals with injuries, medical sources said.
"These figures are estimates but I believe about 60 people were killed at the
PUK and about 80 at the KDP. There are a tremendous number of injured,'' Ihsan
said.
"On the first day of Eid we receive people and well wishers and that's why
security wasn't as tight as during the rest of the days,'' he said. "They (the
attackers) took advantage of this.''
U.S. military officials had said they were prepared for any upsurge of violence
in connection with the holiday. The start of the Islamic fasting month of
Ramadan last year marked a sharp escalation in violence against the U.S.-led
coalition and its Iraqi allies.
Ihsan said the targeted sites were the paties' branch offices, about eight
miles apart.
A state of emergency has been declared in the Kurdish area, and doctors have
been asked to return from Eid vacation. An urgent appeal has been issued to
residents to donate blood.
Ihsan said those among the dead are Irbil Gov. Akram Mintik, Deputy Prime
Minister Sami Abdul Rahman, Minister of Council of Ministers Affairs Shawkat
Sheik Yazdin, Agriculture Minister Saad Abdullah. Irbil is about 200 miles
north of the capital, Baghdad.
The PUK and KDP parties control the Kurdish-dominated provinces of northern
Iraq where most of the country's minority Kurds live.
Nobody claimed responsibility. However, a radical Kurdish group, Ansar
al-Islam, operates in the Kurdish region and has been linked by U.S. officials
to al-Qaida.
Thousands of people crowded outside Irbil's hospital, looking for loved ones,
but they were kept out by police.
Officials said the top Kurdish leaders were greeting people when the attacker
approached them and detonated the explosives strapped around his body.
The second attack took place at about the same time in the office of the
Patriotic Union of Kurdistan across town, PUK spokesman Kadhim Ali said. He
said several people were killed and injured in the PUK attack.
The attacks coincided with a visit to Baghdad by Deputy Defense Secretary Paul
Wolfowitz, who arrived on Saturday to boost the morale of troops. Wolfowitz,
whose visit was not disclosed in advance of his arrival, was planning to watch
the Superbowl with U.S. troops on Sunday, but it was not known where.
The suicide bombings came a day after a car bomb outside a police station in
the northern city of Mosul killed at least nine people and wounded 45. It was
unclear if that attack was a suicide bombing or the driver fled before the
explosion. U.S. officials have said recent vehicle bombings and suicide attacks
in Iraq bear the mark of al-Qaida.
Hours later, a mortar attack hit a Baghdad neighborhood, killing five people
and wounding four.
Also Saturday, three U.S. soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division were killed
in a roadside bombing near the northern oil center of Kirkuk. Their deaths
brought to 522 the number of American service members who have died since the
Iraq war began March 20.
The mortar landed in the neighborhood of Baladiyaat, a predominantly
Palestinian immigrant area, on Saturday night, gouging a crater in the ground
and sending shrapnel flying.
Four Palestinian residents were killed, neighbors and relatives said. The fifth
victim was an Iraqi who was visiting the area, they said.
Residents on Sunday carried the bodies of the four Palestinians in coffins
draped in Palestinian flags from a mosque to their homes before taking them to
a cemetery for burial. Some young men in the funeral procession fired rifles in
the air, a traditional Arab gesture while mourning as well as celebrating.
Although it wasn't known who fired the mortar, angry mourners blamed the United
States.
Many women in the procession sobbed. Men chanted "Allahu Akbar,'' or ``God is
Great,'' "America is the enemy of Allah,'' and "A martyr is God's beloved.''
Two of the dead - Ihsan Hussein 40, and his son, Ahmed Hussein, 18 - were hit
in the head by shrapnel that went through the windows of their apartment, said
the elder Hussein's sister, Fatma Hussein.
A third victim was 18-year-old Samy Abbas, said his mother Zahriya Abdul
Rahman. The identities of the remaining two people killed were not immediately
known.
Thousands of Palestinian refugees were settled in Baladiyaat area by ousted
Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein in the 1970s in solidarity with the displaced
people. During the invasion of Iraq last year, Palestinians were among the
staunchest supporters of Saddam.
Irbil houses the Kurdish parliament. Under U.S.-led aerial protection, Iraqi
Kurds, ethnically distinct from the majority Arabs, have ruled a
Switzerland-sized swath of northern Iraq since the end of the Gulf War more
than a decade ago.
The last major attack in Irbil occurred on Dec. 24 when a suicide bomber
detonated an explosives-packed car in front of the Kurdish Interior Ministry,
killing four civilians and inuring 101.
In September, a suicide car bomber struck the U.S. intelligence headquarters in
Irbil, killing three Iraqis.
In another development Sunday, Mohsen Abdel-Hamid, a Sunni Muslim and the
secretary-general of the fundamentalist Iraqi Islamic Party, took office for a
one-month tenure as the seventh president of the U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing
Council.

Arabs killing arabs. I'd say the chance of civil war in iraq
is about 95%, even if they draw up all the nice constitutional
documents.

By providing a "common enemy" i think the US has done more to unite
the Semitic race than to cause them to fall out amongst themselves.

According to an Associated Press article in today's newspaper, by
Robert H. Reid, the terrorists have managed to unite the two competing
Kurd groups in Iraq. It looks like the terrorists have made themselves
the "common enemy."

Would be nice if this were to happen. We have let the Kurds down
before and it is doubtful that another alliance could be formed with
them.
The nature of the conflict would give the kurds the advantage over the
US as far as intelligence goes. Er, we just don't seem to blend in
well. ;)

When I read your posts I sometimes wonder if you can get
any dumber, then you go ahead and prove you can. I didn't say
anything about posting what I expect did I tony? I inferred that
you *only* post things that backup your tiny world view and ignore
everything else. I'm commenting that your lack of any experience outside
of the mean streets of your little ville is well proven pathetic reposting
of news items from your favourite sources.
Understand now or are you still too dumb to get it?
If you thought the Hajj incident was so important, why the hell didn't you
post
it?
It was in the news media that day bigmouth, I don't need to repost news
into APN constantly like you do Tony, I'm able to find it for myself.
I realise this fulfills a huge need in your pathetic life but if you'd
consider
it you'd realise you're just a waste of time and bandwidth.

In other words, IYO I was not posting something that agrees with your

Stuff it Krib, if you think something needs posting, post it already.

No I didn't and this is another example of your proving your stupidity.
What you've done is interpreted what I said using your own pathetic
logic to make something completely different.
Here's what you posted:
">Not to mention more than 240 pilgrims >killed at the Hajj but then Tony

viewpoint.
In my original post. In my answer to you I posted "I inferred that
you *only* post things that backup your tiny world view and ignore
everything else." yet you chose to ignore that, (ignorance or stupidity
on your part? I expect both given how dumb you are), and stumble on
with your own interpretation.
In other words, IYO I was not posting something that agrees with your
viewpoint.
These "other words" being yours, not mine. What you obviously don't see is
that you have no idea of a balance in your postings, (yours being a loose
term
as you mostly parrot words from other people in here because you're too pig
ignorant to do otherwise), all you ever post is the usual litany of hate and
perversion that you appear to spend so much time wallowing in.
Stuff it Krib, if you think something needs posting, post it already.
As I said before tony, I have no need to recycle news from other sources
and the majority of APN'ers are able to get their news firsthand. It's
morons like you that need to feed your fantasies that spend so much time
trawling the web for your stories of weird sex and bigotry and then
post them into here.
Understand now or are you still too dumb >to get it?
I understand comepletely, you don't like me posting my views.
Still too stupid to get it aren't you? If I felt that I'd say it. Why is
it you can't get a simple concept like this into your tiny mind?
And so were the 2 bombing of Kurd headquarters in Iraq, Moron.
But all you ever post, (re-post actually), are stories that fulfill your
petty hate fantasies under your ***** pretence of being connected
to prophecy, why is that tony?
Once again you infer that I'm supposed to do what pleases you, think again
Clown.
Nah you carry on posting what you like, bizarre sexual fantasies, cross
dressing,
homo fantasies, hate and bigotry, all your usual nonsense. Just try to stop
pretending it has any relevance to prophecies and realise that there're two
sides to every coin.
Now go find yourself another hobby.
Ones like yours you mean? free stuff, inciting incest? cross dressing?
fetish clothing?
got anything else you want to recommend as a hobby big boy?
