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 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.
