A car bomb blew up at the entrance to local headquarters of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) party, which is led by President Jalal Talabani. Minutes later, a truck packed with explosives was detonated in a crowed car park, just 50km from the first explosion. The blast destroyed many buildings in the area. Most of the victims were security guards and PUK officials.

This was the second attack targeting PUK headquarters in the last 2 days.
