IRAQ: Car bomb kills six in market place in Kirkuk
Police and firefighters frantically try to assist people injured when a car bomb exploded in a market in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk on Friday. At least 11 people were killed and another 45 were wounded in the attack. A car bomb killed 11 people and wounded 45 others near a market in a Kurdish district of the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk on Friday, police said. Police said Friday's (August 10) attack in Kirkuk's southern al-Hurriya district destroyed several shops and damaged nearby homes. Doctors at the local hospital said many of the wounded were in a serious condition. Eighty-five people were killed by a suicide truck bomb on July 16 in the flashpoint oil-producing city, which is claimed by Kurds, Arabs and Turkish-speaking Turkmen. Kurds see Kirkuk as their historical capital and want it included in their autonomous Kurdistan region. They want the referendum held by year-end, as stated in the constitution, but a Western diplomat said last week he expected it to be delayed.
