KRG statement on explosion in Erbil on May 9 2007
Erbil, Kurdistan Region, Iraq - At a few minutes past 8am today, a truck-bomb exploded in the street outside the Kurdistan Regional Government’s Ministry of Interior in Erbil. Fourteen people were killed and 87 injured. Five of those injured are in a critical condition while the majority have light injuries, according to our health services. This is the only such terrorist attack in the Kurdistan Region since 2005.
The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) condemns this cowardly and barbaric act. Our thoughts are with the families and friends of the victims and we thank the emergency services and the people of Erbil for their response to this incident.
We remain steadfast in our resolve to protect the people of Kurdistan and to play a positive role in the global effort to defeat terrorism.
The KRG and our security forces are determined that the peace and stability in our Region will continue, while we make every effort to improve the security situation in other parts of Iraq.
The Spokesman
Kurdistan Regional Government
