 Twenty-five people were killed and 30 were injured on Sunday when a suicide car bomb ripped through the funeral of Kurdish official Taleb Sayed Wahba in the northern Iraqi city of Tall Afar, said Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) official Khusru Khan. Khan, who is also Nineveh deputy governor, said the bomber blew up his vehicle as a large number of people were gathered to attend the funeral of a Kurdish official gunned down in Mosul on Saturday. "Armed men then blocked the road and prevented ambulances from reaching the victims who needed to be evacuated and clashed with the police and army," he added. |
