Suicide bomber kills 15 in Iraq's Kirkuk


KIRKUK, Iraq (Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed 15 people in Iraq's Kirkuk on Wednesday after detonating a explosives-packed truck outside a Kurdish party office in the city at the centre of a dispute between Baghdad and the country's autonomous Kurdistan.

Shoppers and police helped drag bloodied survivors out of the rubble and wrecked vehicles after the huge blast tore through a commercial street in Kirkuk, near the local headquarters of the Kurdistan Democratic Party or KDP.
