Kurds targetted by deadly bomb

May 13, 2007

The blast took place near the local office of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) in Makhmour, a town near the Kurdish city of Arbil. Four days ago a truck bomb killed at least 15 people in Arbil - an area previously known to be relatively peaceful. The latest bomb went off as U.S. troops continued their search for three American soldiers missing after fighting in an al Qaeda bastion near Baghdad.
