Iraqi Kurdish party office bombed

[DoYouEverWonder]

15 August 2006

Four Iraqis have been killed in a suicide bomb attack on an office of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.

The PUK is Iraqi President Jalal Talabani's political party.

Police officials have warned that the death toll could climb as rescuers search the rubble. More than 30 people were injured in the attack.

1. Turkish agents?

They have been doing a lot of sword rattling of late, including threatening to invade.

2. I don't think so. Turkish agents don't do suicide bombs.

And it's the PKK, not the PUK, that they're after right now.

Sad that I cynically looked to see if anyone would suggest what you did and lo and behold, someone did. Let's not confuse Turkey with Al Qaeda, please. (Edited for shrill subject line)

5. Sad but cynical

Is a nice way of saying you consider me a fool

and perhaps not even that nice...

6. To all reading this thread, I hereby publicly apologize to acmejack

acmejack is not a fool whatsoever, I had no intention of saying any such thing and I am deeply disappointed in myself that my words were read as such. I vehemently apologize in full.

7. Here is a link

that explains why Turkey might be "upset" with PUK concerning PKK, think Israel vs Hezbollah vs Lebanon, at least in attitude, but not in actions, the site is very informative
