[Rudaw] An kaboom has rocked Kirkuk’s Tas’een quarter Wednesday night.
"A terrorist attack occurred in Kirkuk province via an abandoned explosive-laden vehicle that moderately injured three people," Yahya Rasul Abdullah, spokesperson for Iraq's Joint Operations Command, confirmed in a statement.
The injured people have been taken to hospital, he added.
The boom-mobile blew up in front of an office of the Dawa party, Idris Rafaat, head of Kirkuk Asayesh, told Rudaw TV.
Rafaat is based in the Kurdistan Region. He left Kirkuk when the city was taken over by Iraqi federal forces last autumn.
Dawa is the party of rivals Nouri al-Maliki and Haider al-Abadi.
