Bomb attack in Kirkuk wounds eight
At least eight people were wounded in a bomb attack near a police station south of  the ethnically-mixed city of Kirkuk on Thursday (July 10), police said.     

A car bomb exploded in al-Wasitee neighbourhood, damaging nearby houses as well as a number of police vehicles that were burnt out in the attack.      

Last month at least 1,000 people, mainly civilians, were been killed and roughly the same number injured in fighting and other violence as Sunni militants swept through the northern and western Iraq, the United Nations said on Tuesday (July 8).    

Mass killings of scores of victims have become a regular occurrence in Iraq for the first time since the worst days of sectarian and ethnic cleansing in 2006-2007.       

The Sunni insurgents, led by the group known as the Islamic State which considers all Shi'ites heretics who must repent or die, boasted of killing hundreds of captive Shi'ite army troops after capturing the city of Tikrit on June 12.
