  In this article, Yasir Ghazi writes about the suicide bomber that killed some people in northern Iraqi City. First, the author begins the article by describing the incident in details. On Sunday morning, in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk, a suicide bomber attacked a police headquarter and killed at least 36 people and wounded 105. Then the Ghazi continues writing and quotes some policemen that were present when the bomb exploded. For an instance, Nauza Mohamed, one of the police officers, said that the bomber was wearing a police uniform and driving the police car. Then the article is ended by mentioning that there is no group that is taking the responsability immediately for the attack, and that this attack was the third in recent weeks in that area.

       The purpose of this article is simply to inform the readers about the suicide bombers that killed many in Iraqi City. Nowadays, many people that are not in contact with these countries, do not know that these attackers still exist. However, just as the Ghazi's article says, this attack was the third of the same week, which means that these attacks are not rare in countries like Iraq. This article being in the nytimes, informs about the existence of suicide bombers and the danger that people in these countries are in.
