ReutersTruck bomb kills four in Iraq's Arbil14 minutes ago
ARBIL, Iraq (Reuters) - A truck bomb killed four people and
wounded three in the northern Iraqi city of Arbil on Wednesday,
one of the few bomb attacks in the relatively peaceful Kurdish
region since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
The blast went off in central Arbil, capital of Kurdistan, near
the Kurdish government's interior ministry, a Reuters reporter
at the scene said. Police said the toll could rise.
At least five cars were damaged in the blast at around 8 a.m.
The explosion blew off windows and caused partial damage to
some buildings.
Car bombs are extremely rare in Iraq's autonomous Kurdish
region, which has been spared the violence engulfing the rest
of Iraq. Arbil is the capital of Kurdistan.
