Car bomb injures two in northern Iraq: security sources

Two people were injured in a car bombing in the northern Iraqi city of Sulaimaniya on Thursday, police and hospital sources said, a relatively rare attack in a major city in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region.

Police cordoned off a street in central Sulaimaniya where the parked car bomb had exploded and "an immediate investigation has been initiated" to determine the target of the attack, said a security source.

The region has seen a spate of bombings and rocket attacks in recent months.

One person was killed and four were injured when a vehicle exploded in the region's capital, Erbil, earlier this month.
