Arbil, Aug 15, (VOI)- President of the Kurdistan region Massoud Barazani urged Peshmerga fighters and the interior ministry to intervene to protect Kurds in the regions coming under armed attack, accusing regional countries of standing behind such attacks.

“I demand the region’s forces in the interior and Peshmerga ministries, in addition to the region’s guard forces, to help Kurds in the regions that have become targets for armed groups and Kurds’ enemies,” Barazani’s office said in a statement.

“Barazani also demanded that the Kurdish health ministry and all Kurdish citizens help those who were wounded in the Sinjar bombings that occurred on Tuesday,” the statement added.
The district of Sinjar in Ninewa province was jolted yesterday by four car bombs which went off simultaneously, killing and injuring more than 400 persons, most of whom were civilians.

Barazani also accused intelligence agencies in some regional countries of standing behind attacks against Kurd in Mosul, Kirkuk and Diala in an attempt to force Kurds to leave the regions.
Barazani did not name these countries.
