Three Iraqis die in suicide attack
The dead included a 12-year-old boy, a Kurdish security official said yesterday. The US military in Baghdad said the bombing wounded four ādefence human intelligence serviceā officers and a Kurdish Peshmerga guard at the building.
The Kurdish official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said three of the wounded Americans suffered serious abdominal injuries from flying glass and were airlifted by helicopter to a US military hospital. The official said the attack was the work of al-Qaida. He gave no reason for that assessment, but said he was certain Osama bin Ladenās organisation was behind the attack.
