A liquor store was bombed in Sulaimaniyah at 11 pm on July 17. A security officer who was at the scene told Awene that, according to the investigation, the explosion was caused by a sound bomb. Butros Toma, the owner of the store and a Christian, said he doesn't have any idea who was behind the incident and has not been threatened before. A witness said that a black car was parked in front of the store and after the power cut in the area, the car left. The store then blew up.
