The 2009 Kirkuk bombing was a suicide car bomb attack that occurred on June 30, 2009, in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk. The bombing killed 40 people and injured up to 100.[1]
The bomb, which exploded in a crowded district came as U.S. troops were leaving major urban cities in Iraq.[2]
Shortly after the attack, a Peshmerga brigade seized a car loaded with 250 kg of TNT. The explosives were being transported from Kirkuk to Sulaymaniyah.[3]
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani condemned the attack.[4]
