Four killed in Iraq blast targeting Sunni Islamic party

Baghdad - Four people were reportedly killed and two more were wounded when an explosion rocked the headquarters of the Iraqi Islamic Party, police sources said Sunday. The Iraqi Islamic Party is a Sunni party, lead by Iraqi Vice President Tarek al-Hashimi, with its headquarters in southern Mosul, 450 kilometres north of Baghdad. The party is part of the Iraqi Accord Front, the Sunni coalition which has 44 seats in Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's government. Police sources did not say whether the blast was caused by a suicide attack. However, Voices of Iraq news agency quoted Mohammad Shaker al-Ghanam, an official from the party, as saying that an unidentified body found near the blast site might 'belong to a suicide bomber who carried out the attack.' Al-Ghanam also said that the blast targeted the information office of the party headquarters. © 2007 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
