ISIS Carries Out Bombing Near U.S. Consulate in Irbil

Luke 21:7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?” Luke 21:11 "There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and epidemics in many lands, and there will be terrifying things (that which strikes terror), and great miraculous signs in the heavens."

The Islamic terrorist group ISIS has claimed responsibility for a bombing near the U.S. Consulate in the Kurdish Iraqi city of Irbil.

The terrorists said the consulate was their target.

Police said four people are dead and at least 18 people were injured by the car bomb.  The U.S. State Department said that all Consulate personnel were safe.

Police told reporters that a small improvised bomb detonated in the area which was followed by a car moving toward the consulate.  Security personnel began to fire on the car and when it was clear they would not make the consulate, the people within the car detonated their devices.

A witness reported a gun battle between the terrorists and police.

The blast took place across the street from a row of bars, cafes and shops frequented by consular employees.

“The United States will continue to stand with the people of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region and all Iraqis as we work together in confronting these terrorist acts and towards our shared goal of degrading and defeating (ISIS),” the State Department said in a statement.
