SULAIMANIYA: 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.

Over 50,000 Moroccans evacuated due to severe weather: ministry
RABAT: More than 50,000 people have been evacuated from their homes in northern Morocco due to severe weather and heavy rainfall affecting several provinces, the interior ministry told AFP on Tuesday.
The evacuations began on Friday, mostly in Larache province, where the city of Ksar El Kebir — about 100 kilometers (62 miles) south of Tangier — has seen significant flooding, the ministry said.
Evacuees were partly taken in by relatives elsewhere, while those requiring assistance were sent to temporary shelters set up by the authorities, according to the ministry.
Morocco’s national weather service forecast heavy rains, strong winds and snowfall at altitudes above 1,500 meters from Monday to Wednesday in several provinces.
Authorities said the Moroccan army had been deployed to support relief efforts on the instructions of King Mohammed VI.
Last December, 37 people were killed in sudden floods in Safi, in Morocco’s deadliest weather-related disaster in the past decade.
In recent weeks, severe weather and flooding in neighboring Algeria killed two people, including a child.
In Tunisia, at least five people are dead, with others still missing, after the country saw its heaviest rainfall in over 70 years last month.
