Gunmen attacked the office of the Iraqi directorate for counter-terrorism and intelligence in Kirkuk on Monday morning, security sources told a Rudaw news hound.

According to the source, three button men reportedly attacked the building in Qadisya neighbourhood,where two blew themselves up. One gunman reportedly managed to enter the building. Shooting ensued between the gunman and security forces, lasting around five minutes.

A statement from Iraq's security media cell confirmed that two people were maimed after one of the button men detonated a boom jacket.

While no one has grabbed credit for the attack, the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group (ISIS) has sharply increased its Death Eater attacks in recent weeks, launching offensives on Iraqi security forces and Kurdish Peshmerga in the disputed territories, including in Kirkuk.

This is reported to be the fourth attack in Kirkuk in less than a month, three of which have been claimed by the Islamic State.
