Kirkuk bomb

Today (yesterday since it is past midnight at sending this post) we traveled to Kirkuk. Soon before our arrival we got updated that we should go by another way because of car bomb explosions close to one of our location that was our destiny. We took another way and also that one was partly closed with trucks in front of the road. When we had parked our car we heard a big explosion and a chaos started.

Kurdish security forces immediately searched through our car. At let us continue to our location.

The smoke was immediately visible behind this mosque.

At our way to our location we saw the area of the explosion. American and Kurdish Iraqi security forces were there.








When we arrived we found out that these explosions were actually cars placed out by terrorist that the people had been suspect about and they had sent out an alarm. With this American forces blew up the cars that were strategically placed out to kill as many people as possible in a very crowded Kurdish area of Kirkuk. They are heroes for this action but it is first and most the people in Kirkuk that are the real heroes that has to live with this situation. It is mostly them selves that catch terrorists and reveal their networks and their car bombs. Last week a police car was circulating around one of our sensitive locations. The people in the area got suspicious and overmanned the lone police officer in his car. It showed out that the car was adapted and full with explosives. It was an Iraqi ING police officer. In the explosions of today there was again an adapted police car.



The americans leaving with their gigantic vehicles and this special truck after an special effort.

The inhabitants of this city have to decide about their destiny through a democratic election instead of letting terrorist plan their dark future. And this should be done as soon as possible before it is too late.
