AFP | Kirkuk (Iraq)
A spate of bomb attacks against police in the disputed northern oil-rich city of Kirkuk on Thursday killed at least 27 people, the worst violence to hit Iraq in nearly two months.
A further 89 people were wounded in the three attacks, with months to go before US forces, who participate in confidence-building tripartite patrols and checkpoints with central government forces and Kurdish security officers in Kirkuk and across north Iraq, must withdraw from the country.
Three explosions -- two car bombs and a magnetic “sticky bomb” attached to a car -- occurred around one hour apart in the oil-rich city.
