More bad news for the Iraqi Kurds. From Al Jazeera:
A bomber has attacked the offices of a top Kurdish political party in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, killing and wounding more than 40 people.
The explosion outside the offices of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) killed at least nine people and wounded more than 36 on Tuesday morning, police said.
This follows news of a checkpoint bombing on July 31:
Four Kurdish Peshmerga fighters were killed and 10 wounded … when a car bomb driven by suicide attacker went off at a checkpoint on Dahuk-Mosul road, on the boarder [sic] with the Arab part of Iraq.
Sunni militants are doing their best to drag the Kurds into the Iraqi civil war. It’s no coincidence that the Kurds and Shiites are calling for the resignation of the speaker of parliament, Mahmoud al-Mashhadania, a Sunni who sympathizes with the insurgents.
