Photo obtained from: http://www.asharqalawsat.com/details.asp?section=1&issueno=10972&article=49860147 Iraqis were killed and over a hundred others suffered injuries, Thursday morning, as a terrorist packed with explosives set his filthy body off among people inside a restaurant north of the oil-rich city of Kerkuk. Arab and Kurd tribal and political figures were having a friendly lunch in support of the reconciliation efforts, as the terrorist penetrated into the place and executed his inhumane crime, leaving 47 people dead and over a hundred others wounded during the last day of Eid al-Adh'ha (Sacrifice Holiday) which marks the end of Muslims' pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca.

I didn't follow the news very carefully, I heard and read about what happened in Kirkuk. One question, was there really arab and kurdish tribesmen in that restaurant as you mentioned in your post? If this is true, then this would explain it. Apart from those filthy terrorists, I still believe that there are others who would love to see Iraqis keep on fighting each other. There are who are designing different scenarios to ensure this would happen to keep situation in Iraq unstable and others who just like throw a rock in the dark to cause chaos among people from different ethnic and religious groups.
I don't believe in conspiracy theory, but in this case there is an ongoing on.
I agree with you, of course the reality is sometimes, or most of the time, different from what the media describes. I don't believe in conspiracy theory either. But no matter who he was and regardless of his background, and his aim behind the horrible act, there is one thing we all have to know "killing people for such sick reasons, is not acceptable at all". According to news agencies, the restaurant was hosting a post-meeting lunch gathering, and some politicians said it was a warning message to President Talabani who was scheduled to visit the city in the same day. But as i said, no matter what the reason was, killing people in such away is Unjustifiable.
