Dozens killed in suicide bombings targeting Kurdish offices in Irbil.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Tom Lasseter
IRBIL, Iraq _ In one of the deadliest suicide bombings of post-war Iraq, two men walked into Kurdish political offices Sunday morning with explosives strapped to their bodies and, a few minutes apart and on different sides of town, killed at least 60 people _ and possibly more than 100 _ and injured some 240, according to hospital and government officials.
Among the dead were the governor and vice governor of Irbil, according to a spokesman for the region's ministry of information. Sami Abdil Rahman, the region's deputy prime minister, and several other key Kurdish politicians died in the bombings.
Nearby hospitals were crammed with corpses and the screaming wounded. Men, women and children had been blown to pieces in this predominantly Kurdish town in northern Iraq.
