Kurdistan Workers' Party
Kurds are entitled to their own country... In theory.
Wresting the city from ISIS is a challenge even before the fighting begins.
And the government sees the PKK as responsible.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
As Iraqi Kurdistan slides toward autocracy, U.S. leaders ignore journalists' deaths and suffering refugees.
The government blamed Kurdish militants for the attack.
The conflict between the two groups is at its deadliest in two decades.
The group described the car bombing as "vengeful action" for security operations in the mainly Kurdish southeast.
The car bomb attack killed 28 soldiers and civilians on Wednesday.
The blast ripped the facade off the building and caused extensive damage to the surrounding area.
