Khumeidi, is the former head of the Association of Iraqi women, which worked closely with the former government of Iraq. In a separate incident in Kirkuk, a rocket slammed into the offices of a cultural centre. The attack on the al-Shafaq Kurdish cultural organisation is linked to the Kurdistan Democratic Party (DDP), according to members of the group. The front of the building was damaged in the blast, but there were no reports of any injuries. Ahmad Taqana, a member of the DDP said: ''I cannot accuse anyone but I believe there will be more attacks in the coming days.''
