Barazani commits to federation despite Irbil double bloody attacks

Chairman of the Kurdistani Democratic party, Masoud al-Barazani, said that he is clinging to demand a federal Iraq despite the suicide attack which targeted the headquarters of his party in Irbil to the north of Iraq.

In a statement, Barazani said "we say to the enemies of Kurdistan and Iraq and they will not undermine the unity of the Iraqi people and the Kurds demand of a federal state."

The statement continued "we vow before the people of Iraq and our martyrs to continue our efforts to liberate Iraq and build democracy and a federal state."

For his part, a spokesman for the Kurdistani National Federation accused what he described as extremists Islamists terrorists of being involved in the explosions which targeted the headquarters of the federation and the headquarters of the Kurdistani national federation ( led by Jalal al-Talibani ) in Irbil city, in Iraq's Kurdistan on Sunday.

The assistant for the occupation forces operations leader said that some 56 persons were killed and other 200 wounded in the two attacks.
