Suicide bomb at Iraq party HQ kills 9, injures 36
Aug. 15, 2006

Nine people died and and 36 others were wounded Tuesday when a suicide bomber detonated a truck outside a political headquarters in Mosul, Iraq, a police official said.

The blast happened at the party headquarters for the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan.

Iraqi President Jalal Talabani is a member of the PUK.

Police said the explosion destroyed part of the building in eastern Mosul's al Tamim neighborhood, with most of the casualties coming from the party's membership. Mosul is located about 250 miles (400 km) north of Baghdad.

Also Tuesday, the U.S. military said a deadly weekend blast in Baghdad that killed 63 Iraqis and wounded 140 others was caused by a series of insurgent attacks.

Initially the U.S. military said the blasts were the result of a gas explosion, despite the Iraqi government's insistence that car bombs and rockets were to blame. Two car bombs touched off the gas explosion in Baghdad's Zafraniya neighborhood, leveling a residential building, according to the military statement.
