At least 27 killed in attacks in Kirkuk

At least 27 people, mostly policemen, were killed and 89 wounded in a series of bombings in the city of Kirkuk, north of Baghdad in the deadliest attacks in Iraq for about two months. At least three attacks occurred in just over an hour in the city, the subject of dispute between the central government in Baghdad and Kurdish authorities who want to integrate the autonomous region of Kurdistan (North), according to security services.

"The explosions caused 27 dead and 89 wounded, most of them policemen," said Sadiq Omar Rasul, director of health services in the province of Kirkuk.
