Kurdish mob mistaken a Kurdish journalist for a terrorist after a huge bomb attack in Kerkuk. Awene journalist Yahya Barzindji was brought to a hospital.

"It took only a few moments for the demonstrators to turn their fury on the Turkmens, whom they instantly blamed. One mistook a well-known Kurdish journalist, Yahya Barzanji, for a Turkmen correspondent, shouting, "He's working for the Turkmens," Barzanji recalled. A video captured the crowd furiously beating Barzanji, chanting: "Kill him! Kill him!""

  • Yes, they thought the journalist was trying to set off an IED. Kurdish intelligence services also found a third bomb in a car. The demonstrators were also attacked by Turkmen guards with machine guns (see pukmedia). Normal in chaotic situations that people freak out.
