At 8:18am on 27 February 1995, a car bomb exploded in Zakho, a city which is 12 miles from the Turkish border in Dohuk Governorate, Kurdistan Region, Iraq.[1] It happened during the Iraqi Kurdish Civil War, which began nine months earlier. The bomb was made from 330 pounds of dynamite and exploded whilst the car was outside a coffee house which was on a street located in a busy marketplace. At least 54 people were killed.[1] No-one claimed responsibility; the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan were suspected.
