Kirkuk, Iraq: A car bomb killed at least 21 people and wounded dozens in a flashpoint town north of Baghdad on Tuesday, a security official told AFP.

Tuz Khurmatu, home to a mixed Kurdish, Arab and Turkmen population, was the scene of deadly violence in mid-October when Iraqi forces retook it from Kurdish control in response to a Kurdish independence referendum.
