"Our militia in coordination with Kirkuk's bureau of investigation have arrested three Turks suspected of involvement in the attack," said Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) official Ramadan Rashid Muheidin.
"They had Turkish passports and satellite phones when they were arrested," he said, adding that the two had been apprehended next to the PUK offices. snip
At the time, PUK local commander Jalal Jowher accused Islamic militants from either Kurdish-based group Ansar al-Islam or Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network of being behind the bombing.
