IRAQ-UNREST-KIRKUK

Iraqi security forces inspect the site of an explosion on January 16, 2013 in Kirkuk, 240 kilometres (150 miles) north of Baghdad. A wave of attacks in Baghdad and north of the capital left at least 17 people dead a day after a Sunni MP was killed in a suicide bombing, amid a worsening political crisis engulfing Iraq.
